A Captain for Caroline Gray

More about the book

Caroline Gray's third season in London society concludes as disappointingly as her previous ones—no marriage proposal or suitor in sight. Her outspoken nature, sharp intellect, and unconventional views alienate potential matches, leaving her to believe that next season might bring better prospects. However, with her family's finances dwindling, Caroline faces a stark choice: embark on a journey to India with the Fishing Fleet, where a family friend’s son awaits. If the match fails, returning home is not an option. Captain Thomas Scott, who commands one of the Fishing Fleet ships, enjoys the thrill of the sea and is puzzled by families sending their daughters to marry strangers. His routine voyages take an unexpected turn during dinner with Caroline, who engages in spirited political discussions, challenging the norms and captivating the captain. While the other passengers are shocked by her boldness, Captain Scott finds himself drawn to her beauty and intellect. As they grow closer, Caroline must confront the reality of her impending arranged marriage in India. She faces a crucial decision: honor her mother's wishes or embrace the possibility of love with the sea captain. Will their connection withstand the challenges ahead?
