Across the Windswept Sea
In the summer of 1824, Christin Chesterfield's fiercely independent spirit clashes with the unyielding will of Alexandre Stratford, a privateer captain haunted by shadows of his past. Their sudden marriage is more a battle of pride than a union of hearts, but as they set sail aboard The Destiny for a high-stakes race to the Caribbean, their journey forces them into uncharted emotional waters.
As storms threaten and rival ships close in, tensions between Christin and Alex rise, their guarded defenses cracking with every challenge they face together. Beneath Christin's sharp wit lies a vulnerability shaped by betrayal, while Alex's stoicism conceals a past that continues to weigh him down. Each passing mile draws them closer to a passion neither is prepared for-and truths they can no longer avoid.
But the Caribbean holds dangers far greater than treacherous seas and fierce competitors. Secrets from Alex's past collide with Christin's own unresolved wounds, entangling them in a web of deception and peril they never anticipated. In a vibrant but volatile Jamaica, the couple must contend with an unseen foe, one whose schemes threaten not only their bond but their very lives.
From the gilded ballrooms of London to the unpredictable shores of the Caribbean, Across the Windswept Sea is a sweeping tale of love, resilience, and discovery. As Christin and Alex face the tides of betrayal, desire, and danger, they must chart their course-or risk being swept away.
