Lady Alexandria Cassell feels trapped. Her whole life promises to be a series of balls, entertaining, and perpetual boredom if she remains in London for the Season to find a suitable husband. So she does what any sensible girl would do in her situation….she runs like hell.
Alexandria finds a ship leaving London bound for Canada where her father lives. She stows away on board, but little does she know what adventures await her on the high seas.
Itching to put as many leagues between himself and London, Captain Drake Barrett sets sail when he discovers Alexandria hidden away in his cabin. Though he knows he should turn the ship around immediately and return her to her family….there is something about the unruly beauty that lures him in and forces him to agree to take her with him to Canada.
Drake abhors women of the peerage and society. To him they are all the same. But Drake immediately recognizes that Alexandria is different than most rich, titled girls. She is everything a well brought up girl should NOT be….stubborn, defiant, and as untamable as the sea, not to mention stunningly beautiful.
