SUMMARY: [From the back of the book] When dashing Lord Nathaniel Hawke rescued a girl from drowning the last thing he expected was for that same girl to turn up on board his ship - disguised as a boy! Respected naval captain of the Pallas, Nathaniel had to conceal her identity from his men.
For ship's boy George - alias Miss Georgiana Raithwaite - running away seemed her only escape from a cruel impending marriage. Never did she imagine that her disguise would see her scrubbing decks on the high seas... in extremely close proximity to Lord Nathaniel Hawke!
Forbidden desires taunted them on their stormy voyage to Gibraltar. But with reputations at stake their secret must be kept, as exposure could ruin them both...
REASON FOR READING: I thought the cover was purty.
