The Merry Anne

Dick Smiley commands the Merry Anne, a lumber schooner carving her way through the cold waters of the Great Lakes. He's young, impetuous, and too bold for his own good. When a storm gathers on the horizon, most captains would run for harbor. Dick threads through the whitecaps instead, because that's who he is: a man who measures himself against the lake and refuses to blink. But the lake isn't his only adversary. There's Annie, whose hold on him is as dangerous as any squall. As he battles the waters and his own stubborn heart, Dick must learn what every Great Lakes captain eventually discovers: the sea will test you, but it's the people you love who truly show you what you're made of. This is adventure fiction with salt in its veins and romance in its cargo hold. Perfect for readers who want their historical fiction with real wind in the sails.
