In the British-held southern port of Mobile, Alabama, the conflict brewing is quieter--though no less deadly. The lovely Frenchwoman Lyse Lanier is best friends with the daughter of the British commander. Rafael Gonzalez is a charming young Spanish merchant with a secret mission and a shipment of gold to support General Washington. As their paths cross and their destinies become increasingly tangled, Lyse and Rafael must decide where their true loyalties lie--and somehow keep Lyse's family from being executed as traitors to the British Crown. <p/>With spectacular detail that brings the Colonial South alive, Beth White invites readers into a world of intrigue and espionage from a little-known side of the American Revolutionary War. Her richly textured settings and characters delight while fast pacing and closely held secrets will keep readers turning the pages.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Torn between loyalties to family and flag, one young woman is about to discover that her most important allegiance is to her heart.<br/></b><br/>It is 1776, and all along the eastern seaboard the American struggle for independence rages. But in the British-held southern port of Mobile, Alabama, the conflict brewing is much quieter--though no less deadly. <br/><br/>Lyse Lanier may be largely French in heritage, but she spends most of her time in the company of the ebullient daughter of the British commander of Mobile. When a charming young Spanish merchant docks in town, Lyse is immediately struck by his easy wit and flair for the dramatic. But is he truly who he makes himself out to be? Spies abound, and Spain has yet to choose a side in the American conflict. Is Lyse simply an easy mark for Rafael Gonzalez to exploit? Or are his overtures of love as genuine as Spanish gold?<br/><br/>With spectacular detail that brings the cultural gumbo of the Colonial Gulf Coast alive, Beth White invites you to step into a world of intrigue and espionage from a little-known slice of the American Revolutionary War.<br/><br/><br/><b>What critics are saying about the Gulf Coast Chronicles<br/></b><br/>"Duplicity, danger, political intrigue, and adventure."--<i>Booklist</i> on <i>The Pelican Bride<br/></i><br/>"New France comes alive thanks to intricate detail."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> review of <i>The Pelican Bride<br/></i><br/>"The brutal New World [is] captured with distinct detail in this fast-paced romantic adventure."--<i>RT Book Reviews</i> on <i>The Pelican Bride</i><br/><br/><br/><b>Beth White </b>is the award-winning author of <i>The Pelican Bride</i>.
