Luckily he doesn't recognize her in disguise but when he knocks her out a handsome stranger comes to her rescue. Quentin has just gotten back from serving in the Navy, when he comes Accra's a lad being knocked unconscious his since of duty prevails and he comes to his aid. But when he undresses the lad of his wet cloths he gets quite a surprise. Now no matter how hard he tries he can't keep the beauty out of his mind. He wants to know all her secrets and help her any way he can. But will she let him and will he believe her when she tells her side of things? Interesting short historical novella. Quentin's persistence and honor were fun to watch when faced with Ally's stubbornness. And even though she didn't want to trust Quentin and do things on her own Ally's strength shone through even when she was scared and unsure.
