Rachel's Passage

Foolishly promising her love to a young adventurer, Rachel finds solace in the arms of Seth, an older man whose gentle touch sets her heart on fire, but as their marriage blossoms, an explosive scandal threatens to tear them apart.

Rachel agrees to marry Seth, an older man her parents have chosen for her, only because Peter, the man to whom she lost her heart, has been missing since his impressment in the British navy more than a year before. When Peter returns as if from the dead, Rachel is torn between her youthful promise to wait for him and her growing realization that she has found true love with Seth.
