Jacky Faber makes waves, even when docked in her adopted city of Boston to attend to the business of Faber Shipping Worldwide. With big dreams and perhaps too much exuberance for the Puritan populace, she quickly finds herself at odds with the Women's Temperance Union and a town roiling over the arrival of hundreds of Irish laborers, brought in on Jacky's Lorelei Lee. Thwarted at every turn by her enemies, Jacky is forced to acknowledge her shortcomings—and possibly lose her beloved Jaimy Fletcher. Will the impulsive Jacky Faber finally get her comeuppance?


  • A Strong Female Protagonist: Jacky isn't just a girl on a ship; she owns the entire Faber Shipping Worldwide fleet. But her modern ideas might be too much for Puritan Boston to handle.
  • Rich Historical Fiction: Experience the turmoil of early 19th-century Boston, where the Women's Suffrage movement is gaining steam and tensions flare over the arrival of Irish immigrants.
  • High-Stakes Seafaring Adventure: The latest book in the acclaimed Bloody Jack series finds Jacky navigating treacherous social waters where the biggest dangers are docked right in her own city.
  • A Touch of Romance: Jacky's success on the high seas means little if she loses the man she loves. She'll have to fight her enemies on shore to keep her business and her beloved Jaimy Fletcher.
