The Fishwife's Prize

After her father's death, Chloe Monroe takes over her father's fishing boat and business.. She has to endure ridicule and scorn, being the only fishwife in a market of fishmongers. But that may be easier than returning the affections of one Jamie Harrison and his persistent attempts to win her heart. James has to find a better way to support his mother and sisters and pay off his father's exorbitant debt than through the wages of a longshoreman. Since Chloe, the one person keeping him in Connecticut, has no plans to return his affections, and since the promise of pay is so much, James embarks on a three year whaling expedition. But is whaling really for him? A different skill altogether may steer his destiny.
