Two reluctant young people, engaged for all the wrong reasons.
He needed her money to further his family's business. She needed to marry to unlock her inheritance so she could save her beloved mother. Two hearts so intent on using the other for everything but love, can there be a reconciliation? Is it possible for two people so far apart to find the one thing they never expected?
Join Marianne as she chases loathsome Noah down after he deserts her and publicly humiliates her in front of everyone of importance. Watch in horror as a delightful set of circumstances abound to keep the two disinterested parties together - finally culminating in a heroic set of events that takes place in the War of 1812.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I had no desire to put it down. Ms. Tyndall has the ability to make you feel as though you were actually there in the thick of things by her spellbinding imagery. I look forward to reading more of her works, and highly recommend it to those who love historical fiction.

I loved this book-- Marianne Denton is in need of money to help save her mother and sister. Her marriage to Noah(a sea merchant) will unlock her inheritance. Noah Knows Marianne from his youth--a spoiled, rich, unworking girl. A plain girl not his type but his father wants the match. After fleeing their engagement party to return to his ship Noah finds she (Marianne)on board and not what he thought. I love all of Tyndall books filled with adventure, and romance.
This book was excellent. However, the title on the book is "surrender the heart" and the cover is the same girl but slightly different angle. The book description is identical but they must have changed the name somehow from "sea" to "heart. It is the first book in the Surrender to Destiny series so not sure why the change of title. I loved the story and it was a quick read wanting to know what happened next. Really liked the changes that occurred with the characters as they learned to trust in the Lord. Exciting yet inspirational.
