Moriah's Mutiny

Anthropologist Moriah Mallory had always been the ugly duckling of her family.

So when she accompanies her sisters on a Caribbean charter cruise, she doesn't expect their dashing captain to notice her. So why did Austen Blye seem to set his sails in her direction?

Trailing in the wake of a romance novelist, a Broadway actress, and a model, Moriah is prepared to hide behind her field notes. What could possess a carefree island captain to pursue the only sister armed with heavy textbooks and horn-rimmed glasses?

From an unexpected rescue in a Charlotte Amalie tavern to secluded beach strolls, his easy charm keeps slipping past her scholarly defenses. Could a sun-drenched voyage really steer a sensible scholar off course?

Why was it that the only Mallory sister Austen wanted was the one who was ignoring him? Somehow, he'd have to maneuver Moriah's mutiny…and make her his first mate forever.



Two weeks aboard the ketch Urizen with four opinionated sisters, one determined captain, and nowhere to run.

• Forced Proximity: Trapped on the fifty-one-foot sailboat Urizen for two weeks, Moriah cannot escape Austen's teasing smiles or the undeniable heat flaring in close quarters.
• Opposites Attract: Austen walked away from corporate boardrooms for a sun-bleached life at sea, while Moriah hides behind tenure tracks and anthropology textbooks—until island nights tempt them both to let their guards down.
• Sibling Rivalry: Overshadowed by three dazzling older sisters used to commanding the spotlight, Moriah must decide whether to remain the family ugly duckling or claim the spotlight with the captain for herself.
