A mystery aboard ship! And on land! How are they connected?

Headstrong Lillian Avery is moving to Boston! When she was five she lost her foot and has had to struggle through life. But its made her independent. Maybe too independent. When she meets Ensign Archer Vandenberg he brings that to her attention. Why won't she let anyone help her? And now she's in the mist of a drug ring! Arch loves his career. Maybe too much. But he comes from wealth and wants to make a name for himself, away from his fathers influence. Together they try to break this drug ring, and try to ignore the fact that they are attracted to one another. This book definitely kept you guessing and cheering the characters on! How could you not fall in love with them?
