What to expect
October 1882
Working on a ship is tough . . . but it's about to become a whole lot worse . . .
How can a smile be so misunderstood? For Nell, it's a sign of friendship. To her male colleagues, it's so much more . . .
With two men intent on securing her affections, and little chance of escape, life for Nell is challenging. Until she finds an unexpected guardian.
Her savior is charming and chivalrous, but when he unwittingly causes more problems than he solves, she finally snaps.
Determined to be left alone, she sees an opportunity to be rid of her most troublesome admirer. But not everything goes to plan.
When an emergency threatens both passengers and crew, the captain announces a new way of working, and Nell has no choice but to obey his orders . . .
