A Captain Worth Finding
A Captain Worth Finding
Emma Lane has spent twelve years being indispensable. Taken in as an orphan by the Sterling family, she repaid their kindness by becoming the woman who holds everything together — managing four aristocratic households, raising children who aren't hers, and folding her own wants so small they nearly disappeared. Now twenty-nine, crossing the Atlantic aboard a Sears shipping vessel as four families race to reach a dying patriarch, Emma can feel the role she's built her life around slipping away. The children she raised are growing up. The girl she mentored is stepping into her place. And Emma is terrified of what's left when being needed stops being enough.
Captain Jonah Hale commands the Heiress the way he commands everything — with precision, discipline, and a refusal to want anything the sea can't give him. Born on the Liverpool docks, self-made from nothing, he's earned his place at the helm. He hasn't earned a place in the world of the aristocrats he carries across the ocean. He knows the difference. He's made peace with it.
Then Emma Lane argues with him on his own quarterdeck, and peace is the last thing he feels.
Over eighteen days of open water — through a storm that nearly breaks the ship, a reckoning that nearly breaks them both, and navigation lessons under the stars that teach them far more than longitude — a woman who's never wanted anything for herself and a man who's never believed he could have anything discover that the bravest act isn't surviving. It's reaching for something you might lose.
A Captain Worth Finding is a standalone novella set in the world of the beloved American Heiresses series. Featuring cameos from fan-favorite couples and the next generation of characters who will star in the upcoming Heirs of Defiance series, it bridges two eras and proves that the most extraordinary journeys don't always cross an ocean — sometimes they cross the distance between two people standing at the same rail.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Self-made heroes with rough hands and steady hearts
- Heroines who discover their own worth
- Found family and letting go
- Shipboard romance with real emotional stakes
- Closed-door heat with open-heart intensity
