内容简介

From The Captain s Bride to Cranberry Point， Miranda Jarrett has enchanted readers with the passionate adventures of the seagoing Fairbournes of colonial Cape Cod. Now she creates a splendid tale of love found amidst the storms of life...in a stunning new novel in the award-winning saga from "a sensational author" (Rendezvous). Captain Samson Fairbourne is a confirmed bachelor， a deep-water sailor happily wedded to his work. When he pens a description of the perfect， obedient wife， and hefts the missive overboard in a bottle， all he has in mind is a cutting joke to teach his young cousin a lesson on the foolishness of wishes -- and women. Instead， his prank leads him to Polly Bray， a hardworking seafarer who is about to shake his disparaging notions of femininity -- while reeling in his heart. Left an orphan in a Massachusetts fishing village， Polly dresses in boy s clothes to work aboard her father s fishing boat， the one possession he left her. Pulled under by a devastating storm at sea， she is rescued by Samson Fairbourne， and a sparkling， passionate bond takes hold. But the handsome captain seems determined to confine Polly to his limited view of womanhood. And Polly fears she must surrender her precious independence -- or cut the stubborn， impassioned Samson adrift....
