| Plot Summary of Once an Angel |
|---|
"After their parents and younger brother were killed in the Seven Years War, and their English village attacked, Grace Fisk and her older sisters, Morgan and Joanna, turned to pirating. But things have since quieted down. Morgan and Jo have both married noblemen. Grace, who longs for security, is sailing to the Massachusetts Colony to be married. Although she does not love her fiance, Grace knows he can give her the life she has always longed for. But the ship she sails on is attacked by pirates, led by Jackson Brodie, the only man Grace has ever loved. But she knows they can never be together -- he can never give her a peaceful, safe life. But her heart tells her otherwise: that he is the only man she can ever be happy with. When she arrives in America, Grace finds her fiance is not what he seemed and that the right thing to do is to be with the man she loves, but before Grace and Jackson can find happiness they will have to navigate many obstacles."
Rebecca Herman, Resident Scholar
