Book 1 in the LOVE THE CAPTAIN series.

Meredith’s on the run. What's to become of her?

She's put over 3,000 miles between herself and Kempton, her one-time abuser, but he's so obsessed with her, he's followed her from Vermont to Oxford in England. Escaping his clutches again, she seeks refuge on a long sea voyage to give her wealthy Aunt Clara the chance to have him dealt with. Once on board the "MV Albion", eighteen-year-old Merry meets a danger of a different kind, an attack on the protective cocoon she has built around herself against her horror of sexual intimacy. She meets the charismatic Captain Maynard, a man well-seasoned in the art of love-making. He intrigues her, and she finds herself falling for him.
