Synopsis:
A Regency romance on the high seas.
1811, HMS Deborah
Georgana Woodall dreams of freedom—freedom from her past and freedom from her secret.
She has been living on her father’s ship for years, disguised as a cabin boy named “George.”
But hiding her true self is becoming more difficult, and she yearns to break free of her life
on the sea.
Lieutenant Dominic Peyton has no time in his life for love, not with his dedication to His
Majesty’s Royal Navy claiming his full attention. Determined to prove himself to his new
captain, he strives to be an exemplary officer and leader. When he sees the captain’s cabin
boy being harassed by the crew, he immediately puts a stop to it and takes the boy under
his wing.
Georgana quickly loses her heart to Dominic’s compassion and care, but needing to maintain
her disguise as a cabin boy, she is convinced nothing can come of her affection.
Georgana’s Secret is about two hearts yearning to find a safe harbor, and possibly, a lasting
love.

Advanced Praise:
“Fans of sweet love stories as well as readers who fondly remember
those marvelous old traditional Signet Regencies will quickly succumb
to the siren song of Hawk’s expertly crafted novel, which delivers the
perfect blend of Jane Austen-smart romance and Patrick O’Brian flavored
seafaring adventure. Teen romance readers will cheer on the plucky heroine
as she finds the courage to forge her own path in life and love.”
-Booklist, starred review
“Hawks crafts a spellbinding tale featuring rich characters and raw
emotions set against the atmospheric backdrop of sea life in all its
danger and beauty. Georgana is a tough protagonist holding her own
in a world dominated by men, while Peyton’s charm and sensitivity
\marks him as a true gentleman. A hidden identity, flirtation, and treachery
make for a rousing tale to captivate lovers of historical romances.”
