Captain & the cook - steamy ship suspense on the ocean.

SASSI ROBINS needs money. Lots of money. If she can't get her hands on enough by Dario Correa's deadline, she'll be forced to walk down the aisle at his side. Damning her father for dying and leaving her with his debts won't help. She needs a job, one that pays damn well.

CAPTAIN SWAIN needs a cook. One who can cast off without delay, and he doesn't mind paying for the privilege. The waif who shows up for the job doesn't seem like she'll last a day on the waves. But the sweet-smelling wench has a fire that draws him in, mesmerizes him, and makes him lose his mind.

Although Sassi knows she should resist the gruff, overbearing master of the vessel, it's a fight she can't win. On his ship, she's his to do with as he pleases... and his desires have a lot to do with pleasing her.

But the fantasy can't last. Reality is waiting for her onshore and time is working against them. Sassi has to let her captain go to save his life and fight against the clock to save her own.
