About this book

Betrothed against her will to someone she could never love, she ardently desired the one man she was forbidden to see. When wealthy, self-willed Fiona Rutherfield meets handsome Bill Lindsey one fateful Scottish spring day, she little suspects that the encounter will change her life. Before long, the forceful young Merchant Navy captain’s quiet dynamism begins to exercise a powerful attraction for her. But Fiona is already engaged to the colourless Philippe. Her father, the head of the Anglia Line, forbidden her to see - let alone marry - the young captain with whom she was so passionately in love. And since it was an Anglia ship that Bill commanded it was in her father's power to break him if they defied his orders. Her stern father’s commands and the onset of World War seem to end any thoughts of being with Bill. Then, in exotic wartime Casablanca, Bill enters her life once more, wounded in action at sea, and Fiona is faced with a choice every woman fear: between her passions - and her duty…
