Irish immigrant Paddy O'Hara was a legendary Marine--one of the first--and the inspiration for a fraternity of Marine brothers who call themselves the Wart Hogs. In the years following the Civil War, these stalwart warriors fight for the survival of the Marines. Some in the government want to see this unruly band of brothers dissolved and the Navy given sovereign rule of the waves. Paddy O'Hara's son, Zachary, practically grew up in the Marines, and is as dedicated to saving the Corps as any Wart Hog. Young, brash and fiercely intelligent, he hadn't planned on falling in love, though, and certainly not with the passionate, obstinate heiress Amanda Kerr, daughter of one of the biggest industrialists in the country. But more than just differences in background could come between Zachary and Amanda: Paddy's son is haunted by a secret he can never tell, a secret that may force him to choose between a stunning career as an officer in his beloved Corps and life with the woman who fulfils his every desire.
