Captain Wentworth returns after years at sea to the English shore with a view to marry any pleasing young woman thrown in his way - that is, any but Anne Elliot. Providence, or at least his sister Sophia, seems to have a very different set of ideas for his future, however, and a love long since believed dead might just make a miraculous recovery.

Her dreams are answered when Sophia Croft acts on Frederick's behalf to bring Anne to him, where he is posted in the West Indies. FINALLY COMPLETE!
