Boston 1765, a saga of colonial America from NYT bestselling author Patricia Rice
In a city seething with revolutionary unrest, Evelyn Wellington struggles to hold her late father’s shipping business together. As Parliament’s new taxes spark more outrage, Evelyn discovers smuggled goods linked to the growing resistance in her family’s warehouse—placing her livelihood and her family’s safety at risk.
Sent from London to investigate the misuse of his family’s shipping fleet, Alex Hampton, heir to an earldom, expects to find corruption among unruly colonials—not a capable, defiant woman at the center of it. As his search for the truth drags him deeper into Boston’s political undercurrents, he begins to question where his own loyalties lie.
Caught between the tightening grip of empire and the rising cry for liberty, Evelyn and Alex must navigate shifting allegiances, dangerous secrets, and the first sparks of revolution. What they uncover could cost them everything—even as it helps shape a nation’s future.
