Jennifer Moore
Amelia Beckett is delighted to be a widow. Married by proxy to a man she'd never met, Amelia recognizes that a fortuitous entry into widowhood frees her from meddlesome chaperones and matchmakers. Heiress to her mother's sugar plantation in Jamaica, she happily anticipates working in a man's world, with the additional credibility of her new title: Lady Lockwood. But with the arrival of Captain Sir William Drake, her plans quickly go awry . . . William has traversed the Atlantic with one purpose. If he cannot prove that Amelia's marriage to his brother was a fraud, she will be entitled to a sizeable portion of his family's estate. He is determined to return this duplicitous Lady to London for an official hearing, and he carries with him a letter that will ensure her cooperation . . . Left with no choice, Amelia joins the captain on his return voyage to England, and the two quickly find that ship life does not allow for evasion. Amelia and William are ceaselessly thrown together, and amidst fierce storms and ocean battles, what began as antipathy seems to be evolving quite unexpectedly. But as they draw ever closer to their destination, will the impossibility of their circumstances shatter any hope of a future together?

Excerpt
He finally stopped and pulled his chair closer to her,
raising her chin. “Amelia. I cannot begin to thank you for what you did. It was
brave and brilliant, and it terrifies me to think that you put your life at
risk for—”
“For my shipmates, Captain.” She kept her eyes lowered.
“I would never have forgiven myself if anything had
happened to you.” He wiped the tears from her cheeks with his thumb.
“I would never have forgiven myself if I had not tried.
These men, this ship, it has become . . . I care for them, William, for all of
you.”
He raised her chin even higher, so that she was forced to
lift her gaze his face. He stared at her for a moment. Then his eyes dropped to
her lips, and Amelia’s pulse began to race. Would he kiss her again? They sat,
frozen for a heartbeat, and then William stood, stealing with him all of the
warmth in the room.
