Starting out as a cabin boy, Captain Gideon Horn has spent the last twenty years at sea. But when her stepbrother arrives to rescue her and manipulates her into complying, Sara has no choice but to leave Gideon with no goodbye and only a promise to return. Although physically attracted to him, at first, she's off-put by Gideon's autocratic manner, but the more she gets to know him, the more she desires him and eventually she knows that he's the only man for her. He relents in allowing the women to choose their husbands, but only gives them one week to do so, and that includes Sara. Sara is shocked and appalled at their captain, Gideon's demands, and once again, takes up the women's cause, trying to reason with him. But a few weeks into their voyage, the ship is accosted by pirates who kidnap the women, wanting to take them to an uninhabited island to become their wives.

In order to do this, she goes undercover aboard the ship, and with the help of her stepbrother's hired man, Sara manages to keep the women safe from the lecherous advances of the ship's crew. In her latest endeavor, she wants to document the abuses that convict women face on the transport ships bound for Australia.

Sara Willis is the stepsister of an earl and a passionate, bluestocking reformer.
