It’s wonderful that these sailors see Astor as a skilled doctor. But to hire her to sail away with them? It’s actually the best thing that has ever happened to a dedicated young lady who needs to live her passion. Captain Evans: There was never a good time for an injury on our ship, but my younger brother Simon managed to slice his arm just a week before an important job. To save his hand, we’d need a doctor’s help. I was never expecting a woman, especially one so beautiful that it nearly stopped my heart. It’s been a longstanding desire of mine to find an extremely smart woman. That detail was just as arousing as her beauty, and delicate sweetness. Yet she’s not likely to be satisfied with a patient roster of only seven sailors. Even though in my soul, I know she already belongs to me. Astor: I can’t quite believe I had the nerve to set sail with a crew of strange men. But from the way the Captain treated me, I felt like there was a chance for me to be a permanent member of the crew. I’d never felt anything as powerful as our connection. Until I put my calling ahead of the ship’s mission. Would our passionate heat be enough to make him understand that I needed to follow my dreams, as well as my heart? *** Author’s Note: I write contemporary romance. How the blazes did another pirate tale appear? Just sail with the winds, and come aboard for a steamy and sweet adventure! Even More Important Note: If you’re looking for perfect historical accuracy… Er, keep looking. This is fiction. Please consult history books for precision. This is heart fluttering, pearl clutching, knicker dampening romance. *** This shy girl / alpha male romance is a standalone novel. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and a sweet HEA.
