He didn’t seem troubled by the roiling of the boat. Her stomach rose and fell, but he didn’t even have an increase in breath. Damn him. She really didn’t want to make more of a fool of herself than she already had, but nausea was rising by the moment as the sea grew heavier and wilder away from the coast.
It had been such a long night, filled with such disappointment and fear. She had hardly eaten anything since afternoon tea and now all she could think about was that food and how much she hated everything she’d ever put into her mouth.
Rook cocked his head and looked at her. “Miss Shelley?” he said softly.
But she didn’t answer. All she could do was lean over the side of the boat and cast up her accounts as she cursed every decision she’d made since three o’clock that afternoon. Including the ones that had put her in the boat with a stranger, vomiting in front of him.

About the Author
USA Today Bestselling author Jess Michaels likes geeky stuff, Vanilla Coke Zero, anything coconut, cheese, fluffy cats, smooth cats, any cats, many dogs and people who care about the welfare of their fellow humans. She is lucky enough to be married to her favorite person in the world and lives in the heart of Dallas, TX where she's trying to eat all the amazing food in the city.
When she’s not obsessively checking her steps on Fitbit or trying out new flavors of Greek yogurt, she writes historical romances with smoking hot alpha males and sassy ladies who do anything but wait to get what they want. She has written for numerous publishers and is now fully indie and loving every moment of it (well, almost every moment).
