About the book
Cast into prison for a crime she did not commit, lovely young Juliet Westover was horrified to learn that she was to be transported to Australia. Aboard the barquentine Grace, she was noticed by the vessel's captain, Ross Jamieson. Captivated by her beauty and spirit, he offered Juliet a choice - to return to the hold, or to share his bed. Selecting the lesser of the two evils, Juliet became his mistress. Though Ross's arrogance repelled her, Julie found herself responding ardently to is love-making. From storm-tossed seas to captive luxury in a sultan's harem; from hair's-breadth escape to apparent betrayal, Juliet fought the tide of passion that threatened to overcome her, until at last she surrendered to... Reluctant Rapture.
