The two-week educational cruise started badly for Kate Cameron. She had found a young stowaway for whom she felt sympathetically responsible and had therefore fallen foul of Mark Templar, the powerful Chief Officer; and, unexpectedly, her ex-fiance was on board.

Kate had told herself the same thing but she resented Mark's advice. It wasn't any of his business anyway!

Hero: Mark Templar
Heroine: Kate Cameron
