When ocean liner SS Aurora sets sail from Southampton in the shimmering twilight of August 1912, two strangers board in search of freedom-hers from convention, his from haunted memories. Among the hum of engines and the hush of voyage, Clara Whitfield, a debutante in flight from a marriage arranged by her family, finds herself seated beside Captain Sebastian Vale, a reserved sea‑captain returning from battle and loss.Over dinners beneath lantern-lit decks and moonlit promenades along the promenade, their conversations deepen: her laughter warms his solitude, his strength draws her courage. Yet as the ship charts a course across storm‑scattered waters, their unexpected bond is tested by the tide of secrets, rival passengers, and an unfolding mystery hidden in the ship’s underbelly.When tragedy strikes under the cloak of dusk, Clara and Sebastian must decide: cling to the love forging between them-or let it slip away like stars on a dawn sea.Marriage at Sea is a sweeping tale of escape and awakening, where the horizon blurs the line between duty and desire-and where two hearts, adrift and yearning, discover that love may be the greatest journey of all.
