Caseley is the 21-year-old daughter of Teuder Bonython, successful shipyard owner and consul for Mexico. When Teuder falls ill, Caseley takes responsibility for the shipyard, the consulate, and her father's health - but as a young woman in Victorian England, she must hide her talents in a world dominated by men. Not being conventionally beautiful, Caseley also resigns herself to a life without love - until she encounters Jago Barata, half-Spanish captain of a Bonython ship. Jago is fearless and determined, a brilliant sailor - he's also impudent, arrogant, and unnaturally perceptive. Love is the last thing on Caseley's mind as their every encounter sets her and Jago at each other's throats. Then, just when she thinks Jago is out of her life for good, fate intervenes.
