In the four years following her husband's death, Rachel MacKinley battled her loneliness by building a thriving business. Then, on a vacation cruise off the coast of Mexico, a travel agent's error placed her in a cabin with dark-eyed Gard MacKinley. Delighted with his beautiful shipmate, Gard felt they shared more than just the same last name. His passionate kisses seemed to burn a promise of forever into her heart. But even as her long-denied desire blossomed in his tender embrace, she feared she had fallen desperately in love with a man who wanted nothing more than a shipboard affair.

Sager argues that sailors were not misfits or outcasts but were divorced from society only by virtue of their occupation. The wooden ships were small communities at sea, fragments of normal society where workers lived, struggled, and often died. With the coming of the age of steam, the sailor became part of a new division of labour and a new social hierarchy at sea. Sager shows that the sailor was as integral to the transition to industrial capitalism as any land worker.
