Captain John Hawks comes to the aid of a ship, sinking fast. The last thing he needs is a delay that keeps him from returning to Baltimore. When he finds a young woman on the foundering ship, what can he do? He never can resist a damsel in distress.

One problem should be enough, but Selena's situation goes from perilous to deadly. Not only has she lost her parents, she's stranded on a sinking ship, and she's carrying the child of the vile man who betrayed her. How can she overcome so many disasters at once?

If she casts her fears aside, and accepts the captain's proposal, will it be the answer to her prayers or a curse?

Vikki Vaught's award-winning series, Honorable Rogue, adds The Captain's Reluctant Bride, Book 4. A Regency tale of a young woman's plight, and the brave sea captain who comes to her rescue.
