Harbor of Lies

Book Two of The Ravenshaw Chronicles

A Boston Heist. A Stolen Manifest. A Trap Set in Shadows

 In 1722, in the aftermath of the Providence betrayal, Elizabeth Fairchild refuses to let Edmund Ravenshaw slip into legend. Boston soon hums with rumors of a “respectable” transportation agent—ships on schedule, ledgers in order, and high-value cargo that vanishes within hours of docking. Edmund has traded cutlasses for contracts, seduction for signatures, and piracy for a brand of commerce that looks spotless until it starts to bleed.

To keep his heists precise, he draws in Caroline Whitcombe, a wealthy young wife trapped in an arranged marriage, and turns her into a conduit for secrets whispered in drawing rooms and counted in countinghouses. But when Mary Read discovers Edmund has been spending her name like currency in the underworld, she allies with Elizabeth and Edmund’s cousin, Sir Thomas Harrington, to bait a trap tight enough to hold him.

Boston, however, is a city that protects reputations—and Edmund always finds an exit.
