Roped by Abby Knox

Star:
A job aboard a luxury charter yacht means everything to me, but I can’t seem to stay focused. When my ineptitude lands me in hot water with the much older captain, I expect to be fired. Instead, the bossy Captain Joe teaches me things I never knew about myself. And now, I have a secret — that ex-Navy SEAL may run a tight ship, but underneath that tough exterior is a teddy bear that has roped me into a life I never imagined.

Captain Joe:
The greenest crew member is going to be the death of me. She’s so bad at her job that she’s a danger to herself. Unfortunately, Star is also sweet, kind, and gorgeous, and makes me crave things I didn’t know I needed. A wife. A partner. A family. Maybe it’s all an illusion; maybe I’ve spent too much time at sea. She’s a siren half my age and I don’t stand a chance when her soul calls out to me. Our little secret may mean the end of my career, but it’s just the beginning of my life.
