This book is really two separate stories linked by the heroine of the title. The hero, falling in love with her portrait, sets out to find her in Haiti. It is 1800 and the first part deals with the French privateers in the Caribbean and Bonaparte's attacks to retake Haiti from the natives. Part two takes the couple to the Mediterranean where they are captured by the Barbary pirates. Much of this deals with the United State's political [mis]dealings with the Barbary States. Lydia is the brain behind their escape from both situations.
