Aprašymas

A rebellious suffragette and a steadfast sailor-tied by duty, divided by secrets, and tempted by a love that changes everything.

A born sailor, Jonathan Kennebrae thrives in his role running his grandfather's shipping enterprise. That is until his grandfather delivers a crippling ultimatum-Jonathan will marry Melissa Brooke or lose his inheritance and everything he's worked for. Though Jonathan finds himself drawn to Melissa, he can't help feeling his intended may not be who she appears to be.

Melissa Brooke is tired of being voiceless. She's been the perfect daughter all her life, doing what she's told for the good of the family. Except she has a secret. Melissa lives a double life, teaching literacy to struggling immigrant women and fighting for the suffragette movement. If she goes through with the wedding, she'll be forced to abandon her life's work. Yet refusing the union could cost her any chance at an inheritance to fund her cause. To make matters worse, she can't deny the tender feelings blooming between her and her fiancé.
