She had gone willingly to Andre, able to acknowledge the attraction that had grown between them during the long voyage from Canada to France. They had spent the most glorious night together. And then in the morning, after the ship had docked, Andre had left without her. One night of love leads to a promise of revenge, a promise that Delphine will find impossible to keep.

Delphine
This book is not without its flaws. Following the story of Andre, whom the reader met in Marielle, who has lost his wife and is returning home to France after time in New France to get over the loss of his beloved. The ship he sails home on is the domain of Gosse, a petulant girl-child who wants to never change, never become the woman she has grown into. Of course, this being a romance novel, the two get it on, and he leaves her the next morning to see how his children have fared in the year without him. Gosse marries an abuser and takes her given name, Delphine, and has Andre's child. But when he comes back into her life, can she ever forgive him?
The problems I had with this novel a few, but telling. The switch in perspective from Andre to Delphine for the last half of the book work to advance the narrative, but do little to make the reader connect with either character. There was already some connection to Andre, given the previous story that had him as a central character, but there was no reason to like Delphine. Also, the end is so abrupt. The last fifty pages make no sense to the characters as they are written, and so comes off as forced. A disappointing end to what started as a great trilogy.
