17yo Vida needs to settle her wild ways. As the daughter of a proper family in 1900’s San Francisco, her mother is determined to marry her to the right man – in this case, Fitzhugh Farrar, the son of the owner of the “Princess of the Pacific”, a luxury liner ready for its maiden voyage. Vida and her parents join the voyage, where Vida also meets Sal, Fitz’ best friend. When the Princess goes down and group needs up on an island, Vida finds a part of her that would be stifled in civilized places. Vida has a fight between her head and her heart. 

Godberson writes another sweeping, lush romance that is more about the girl and her choices than it is about the romance. A winner for your romance readers.
