It takes a swashbuckling sea captain to turn a meek Boston spinster into a passionate, daring woman....
Plain, awkward and painfully shy, Isadora Peabody didn't fit in anywhere -- not her elegant family, not Boston society and certainly not on board the SILVER SWAN, a boat bound for exotic Rio de Janeiro with the fiery captain Ryan Calhoun at the helm. Yet somehow Ryan's motley crew made a place for her -- while Ryan himself soon came to appreciate a great deal more than just her sound business sense....

Romance and adventure when a Boston socialite and a swashbuckling sea captain dare to love...
Isadora Peabody is an awkward misfit in her beautiful and accomplished family. Shunned by those she yearns to befriend, she gives her heart to a man who doesn't even know she exists. With nothing to lose, she seizes the chance to journey to a wondrous new world in search of a dream.
In a society where men are judged by their family name and position, Ryan Calhoun is considered to be reckless for walking away from his. Driven by his quest to right an old wrong, the fiery, temperamental sea captain doesn't have time to look after the meek young woman who comes aboard his ship.
What Isadora discovers on the voyage is more adventure than she could have imagined. The crew of motley sailors becomes her own personal charm school, teaching her to be a lady. And giving her the confidence to believe in a startling new love.
