For her, he'd go to the ends of the earth. When she disappears, he might have to. As teens, Rebecca, daughter of a Lord, and Caleb, a lowly cabinet maker, fell in love. They held their secret close, never knowing that the future would hold more secrets and adventures than they could imagine or that they would be taken far from the shores of England. In the English countryside in 1774, Caleb Haroldson and Rebecca Turrington are destined to be together. Stealing her inheritance to fund the life of her choosing with Caleb seems like an easy enough task for Rebecca, as she schemes with him beside the river late one night. But Rebecca is not the only one making plans for her future. When Turrington Manor is ravished by flames and a mysterious hooded figure on horseback appears, Rebecca is swept into a plot of revenge and revolution. Is anyone safe in a land where hundreds have gone missing. As Rebecca struggles for her freedom and Caleb endeavors to find her, both sides of the Atlantic are poised to erupt and everywhere lurks the haunting phrase "Across the River."
