Honor Bound

Lieutenant Crawford Treynor, a determined officer with a tumultuous past, is driven by his ambition to command a frigate. Raised by a poor farmer after being abandoned as a child, he harbors resentment towards the aristocracy and believes that his hard-fought achievements should remain untainted by romantic entanglements, particularly with noblewomen. As he navigates his aspirations and personal demons, the story explores themes of class struggle, identity, and the complexities of love in a world divided by status.
