The Bargain: Episode II

The vastness of the cresting ocean isn’t enough to drown Precious Jewell’s high spirits or her dreams of doing for herself, but a false move and an old nightmare have placed her in more jeopardy, Lord Welling’s bedchamber. Captaining his schooner to Port Elizabeth was his only refuge, until his ship was invaded by land lovers, his son and his challenging caregiver. Perhaps, Miss Jewell’s vivacity and audacity are just what he needs to quell rebellion amongst his crew and his heart. The Bargain is a serialized story told in episodes.
