Love a Sailor (Love the Captain #1) by Amanda Sandton.epub

Part 1 of 7, this New Adult Romance tells the story of a wounded young woman and a charismatic ship’s captain. Does their love stand a chance?

Eighteen-year old Meredith Roxley is on the run from Kempton, the man who raped her when she was in her early teens. When Meredith tells her Aunt Clara that Kempton has tried to snatch her, her aunt spirits the family away on a three-month sea trip.

On board the "MV Albion" Meredith meets Captain Raphael Maynard, a handsome hunk of a man, well-seasoned in the art of love. Meredith finds herself falling for him, but two things stand in the way of any love affair: an age gap of twelve years and Meredith’s fear of sexual intimacy. Her past threatens any chance of happiness with the Captain.

Will the Captain persevere in his attempt to free Meredith from this psychological bondage, while knowing nothing of her history? Or will he decide the effort is not worth his while?
