It’s wonderful that these sailors see Astor as a skilled doctor. But to hire her to sail away with them? It’s actually the best thing that has ever happened to a dedicated young lady who needs to live her passion.
Captain Evans:
There was never a good time for an injury on our ship, but my younger brother Simon managed to slice his arm just a week before an important job. To save his hand, we’d need a doctor’s help.
I was never expecting a woman, especially one so beautiful that it nearly stopped my heart.
It’s been a longstanding desire of mine to find an extremely smart woman.
That detail was just as arousing as her beauty, and delicate sweetness.
Yet she’s not likely to be satisfied with a patient roster of only seven sailors.
Even though in my soul, I know she already belongs to me.
Astor:
I can’t quite believe I had the nerve to set sail with a crew of strange men.
But from the way the Captain treated me, I felt like there was a chance for me to be a permanent member of the crew.
I’d never felt anything as powerful as our connection.
Until I put my calling ahead of the ship’s mission.
Would our passionate heat be enough to make him understand that I needed to follow my dreams, as well as my heart?
