Eight years ago, she was persuaded by her snobbish family to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a young naval officer with no fortune and uncertain prospects. Now Wentworth is back—a wealthy captain, celebrated for his service in the Napoleonic Wars. He is handsome, confident, and bitterly unforgiving. Anne watches as every eligible woman in Bath throws herself at him, believing she has lost him forever. But Wentworth cannot forget her.
