A widow finds herself seeking solace with the captain of the very ship that was to have sailed her and her husband on a journey of discovery to the Orient. Melanie finds the courage to finally let go... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Melanie Morganfield Young is the central character of the book. When you first meet her she is married to her husband Simon. They are very much in love but he dies on a voyage home from the Orient. During the voyage you are introducted to the very obnoxious Captain Worth - he is totally rude, crude and loves to thwart his power over Melanie. Melanie tries to be nice but eventually gets fed up and gives it as good as she is getting it. Well Captain Worth starts falling under her spell. One night shortly after her husbands death he visits her cabin and they have a serious night of steamy sex. Except she thinks it was her husband and finds out that it really was the rude Captain Worth. I'm not letting things out of the bag. But this is a definitely great read.
