The Captain's Compass

In the storm-swept wilds of 1815 Cornwall, Eleanor Whitmore's life of Regency refinement shatters when her father's debts drag her to Porthleven's rugged coast. Stranded at a salt-crusted inn, she clashes with Gideon Trevail—a scarred smuggler with a devil's grin and a ship as fast as his secrets. When a desperate bargain binds her to his Selkie's Grace, Eleanor trades silk for salt, plunging into a Regency sea adventure where tin runs and hidden passions collide.

As Cornish smuggling tangles them in a web of danger—storms, excisemen, and a ruthless creditor named Harrington—Eleanor's sharp tongue meets Gideon's roguish charm in an enemies-to-lovers dance. From perilous cliffs to Bristol's gritty docks, their historical romance adventure ignites, each daring the other to crack. But when loyalty and love steer them through the tide's darkest turn, can a lady and her smuggler romance forge a compass to freedom—or will the sea claim them first?
