In the heart of the boundless sea, a love lost to war may yet find its way home.

Five years have passed since Lady Anjou Winslow, one of the triplet daughters of the Marquess Ashbury, watched her love, Lieutenant Gardiner, leave for the war in America. They were secretly married just before his departure, and though the War Office has declared him dead, she refuses to believe it. No trace of him was ever found. Private enquiry agents, hired by Lord Ashbury, have searched to no avail, yet something inside Anjou refuses to believe her husband is dead. Despite her fears of the ocean, she therefore convinces her brother to escort her on the long voyage to America.

Captain Edward Harris, the Wind’s brusque master, does not want her on his ship. Nevertheless, he consents to her passage after her desperate pleas. As Anjou and Charles search for Lieutenant Gardiner, more comes to light than either expected. Will the Captain somehow stand in the way of her lost love’s return?

Editorial Reviews

"Wonderful, well-crafted characters come alive in this engaging series...well written and will keep readers turning the pages." -Library Journal

"A magical wand and a magnificent imagination are the only ways in which an author like Elizabeth Johns could create such an enticing romance, with beautifully poetic writing that sweeps readers directly into this love story full of dramatic plot twists and enviable true love."—InD'Taled Magazine

"The storyline is the best part. Readers are constantly shot with spikes of adrenaline and anticipation, wondering what will happen next in this twisted conflict of catching the bad guys. Ms. Johns magically creates one of the best Victorian novels ever seen."—InD'Taled Magazine

"If you're a fan of Jane Austen novels, you will fall in love with Duke of Knight. Author Elizabeth Johns' historical fiction romance/drama is filled with wit, humor, and heart. The narrative flows smoothly, and the plot has its share of twists to keep you glued to the pages. The characters are well-realized with lively personalities to make them pop out of the pages."—Readers' Favorite

Triplet heaven

This was a great series, triplet who look the same but are very different personalities as are the storylines thoroughly enjoyed call three.

Not her best work.

I was looking forward to this book, it being the last in the series, and was excited when I found out it also included Charles and Sarah in the story... unfortunately, this book wasn't developed enough. Characters and events seem to jump from one emotion to the next. With the Wind had potential to be a funny and entertaining book; sadly, it left me wanting.

A fitting finish to the series!

All 3 books of this series are great! And this one might just be my favorite, although I probably felt the same way after finishing the first and second books. Entertaining and unique stories of three identical triplet sisters. Humor and suspense included. Appropriate for all ages.

expectations mildly surprised

The character development remains a strength of this author. Part of the enjoyment of her books is liking her characters. This is my favorite of the series as the villains are circumstances.

Be sure you have the 3 to read because you'll want to continue---and NEVER stop!

This book is the third to me in this series of triplet sisters (identical) and their separate love stories. Once you pick up the first (FIRE) you will not want to come back to earth to read any other romance between these books! They are written in perfect tempo and not time to wish "they'd move on" !The heroine is traveling with her brother to find her husband (of a short time before he left to fight in war of 1812). They come to America and the story takes off! I loved the combat between Anjou and the Captain of the ship that brings them over to "the Colonies".This book takes the MOST unusual twist and you will be as shocked as I when it happens! I won't spoil it for you. BUT be warned these books will not let go of you! I have already purchased the books of the off-spring of these main characters so I've bought 6 books after reading the first. They are dangerous to your housework! LOL!ENJOY--I wish I could read them again for the first time. This family is one you would wish for if you lived in this era!
