That Damned American (Trade Wind #5)
Rebecca Aubrey
Captain Elijah Miller has always needed to prove himself and always hated the British, with their snooty ways and sluggish merchant vessels. Oh, how satisfying it is showing the world his clipper is the fastest anywhere by delivering tea from China straight up the Thames—and earning a fortune in the doing!
The secret to success for Isaac Chavers, second-in-command of one of Britain’s leading firms, is simple. Humility. Hard work. With little tolerance for arrogance and even less for sailors, he’s horrified when his firm’s future depends on him convincing the cocky American to pledge his recklessly fast ship to a British venture.
After his triumph, Elijah has every reason to leave filthy London…well, once his superb new wardrobe is ready. He’s not so unreasonable as to deny the skills of English tailors, no. But then his beloved sister and only family announces she’s marrying a Brit. The nightmare worsens when a boring, frustrating, tweed-wearing Englishman sets aside his disapproval long enough to try to convince him to stay, too.
Together, Elijah and Isaac learn that stroking a seafarer’s immense…ego isn’t enough to anchor him, it’s through his heart—and with trust and love, an accountant can safely embrace adventure.
