Stormy Persuasion

In Stormy Persuasion, James Malory travels to America to honor a promise he made to his in-laws: to ensure his daughter has her come-out in America. But when Judith convinces her parents to let her delay her London debut by a few weeks and accompany her best friend, neither girl intends to fall in love. However, Judith's plans are overturned when aboard the ship she comes face-to-face with the enigmatic deckhand Nathan Tremayne, a smuggler with a noose around his neck. As Nathan takes command of a dire situation and steers them into the Caribbean heat, he fights with all his mettle to win the right to Judith's heart.
