   Summary

   Captain William Ransom, Ninth Earl of Ellesmere, is assigned a covert mission by his commanding officer to uncover a rebel spy in the tiny parish of Rosewood, Philadelphia. Posing as William Dunsany, a young immigrant from England, he is taken in by John Rose and his beautiful half-Iroquois daughter, Anna. Meanwhile, he struggles to reconcile himself to the fact that he is not the biological son of the eighth Earl, but is actually a bastard born of an encounter between his mother, Geneva Dunsany, and Jamie Fraser, a known rebel and traitor to the Crown. Surrounded by rebel sympathisers, William must play his cards carefully if he is to uncover the spy... and he must also guard his twice-broken heart if he is to keep himself from falling in love with the enchanting, spirited Anna...
