Twenty-year-old Charlotte Savatier returns to Charleston during the American Revolution, on a mission to avenge the wrongful execution of her affluent parents. While assigned by Lord Balfour to make this investigation, Charlotte takes on Heathcliff, a ruthless young Brit to assist her.

Soon, Charlotte realizes not only being a woman (mixed race at that) in a man's position is dangerous enough but that Heathcliff's greed could cost them their lives.

A native of Vermont, Smith is an award-winning author and a graduate of the University of Arizona. He is an accomplished chef and a "reformed restauranteur."
