Publisher's Summary

A Regency romance on the high seas. Two hearts yearning to find a safe harbor, and possibly, a lasting love.

As a young girl, Georgana Woodall dreamed of beautiful dresses, fancy balls, and falling in love. However, when her mother dies, she cannot face a future under the guardianship of her abusive grandmother and instead chooses to join her father on his ship disguised as his cabin boy, “George”.

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. While trying to adjust to a new crew, 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. After discovering a number of clues, Dominic deduces that George is really a woman. Knowing that revealing the cabin boy’s secret would put her in serious danger from the rowdy crew, Dominic keeps silent and hides his growing affection for her.

Georgana is quickly losing her heart to Dominic’s compassion and care but is convinced nothing can come of her affection. She cannot continue to live her life on the sea, and having already missed too many seasons in London, her chances of being welcomed back into polite society and finding a suitable husband are quickly slipping away.

Georgana’s Secret is about two hearts yearning to find a safe harbor, and possibly, a lasting love.

Unexpectedly interesting

I expected to return it after a few pages but got really involved in the story and a few more insights into the operations and usages of the Royal Navy at this period, including the presence of captain’s wives on voyages although the idea had been mentioned in Jane Austen’s Persuasion

Loved this

Absolutely wonderful love story. The perfect romance to fall into, very innocent. I really enjoyed the characters, and I liked the main female character, seemed very believable.

I really enjoyed this story

I really enjoyed this story and narration of it. I was so angry at some of the characters at times... Smarten up! Take charge! ... but never at the writer. I was lost in this story the whole time

Stunningly good

Amazing Regency novel. I had read rave reviews and they are well deserved.

However, while the narrator had a beautiful voice I found her narration disinterested.

The Hype is Real

Guys. It's true. The hype is real. This may well make it into my top ten reads of the year😍🥰

Ahhhh it's so perfect. I love the characters, I love the plot, the pacing, the words, the balance.

@arlemhawks pulled off a tricky trope masterfully, without crossing any uncomfortable lines. Everything about it. It's perfect.


(For those of you concerned about the narrator, she did have an interesting lilt, (starts the sentence loud, and grows softer towards the end everytime...😬) that I found distracting in the beginning, but either it improved, or I just got used to it because I didn't notice it at all anymore and was able to fully enjoy the story❤ (also, her accent is delightful😘))
