Description

Captain Caleb Cameron and First Mate Duncan MacDougal need money to set themselves up as legitimate privateers during the war between the British and the new United States of America. With the prizes they’ll conquer, they will be rich, so they risk the noose and accept a large sum to shanghai a princess and her lady's maid. What they get is a pair of brazen, notorious women who will stop at nothing to get what they desire. Annie Puddin, lady’s maid, has had adventures, riding as highwayman’s assistant by night, learning how to be a lady by day. So when she and her friend Ginny, a housemaid, spend an evening dressing up in the absence of their new mistress and dreaming of being rich, the champagne and caviar are nothing unusual—but being snatched and tossed out the window is a new experience, and there are more to come.

About the author

Gail MacMillan has always wanted to be a writer. She was 30 years old when her first book, Forest of Fear, was published for Avalon in 1974. Since then she has gone on to write three novels for Avalon, a variety of articles and stories for magazines in Canada and the United States, and two books on her favorite dog, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. For a 1992 article on this breed, Gail was awarded a Maxwell Medal in New York by the Dog Writers' Association of America for the best article in a canine magazine or newspaper.

Gail's other interests include reading, horses, and canoeing. She currently lives in Bathurst, New Brunswick with her husband, Ron, and two dogs, a Sheltie mix and, of course, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
