"The best sexual tension I've read in a long time—combined with the wonderfully fresh plot and memorable characters, I didn't put this book down once!" —Lauren Layne, NYT bestselling author I'm scarred. Broken. I'll never be the same. Ever since my last dive ended in bloodshed, I've been terrified to go back into the water. But I need to get my life back. And I've convinced myself a semester at sea is the only way to do it. I never expected Tristan MacDougall. Rugged, strong, and with demons of his own, Tristan helps me find the courage I thought I had lost and heals me with every stolen moment we share...even though the rules of the ship mean we can't be together. But that's the least of our problems, because my biggest fear has become a reality, and I'm not sure either one of us will survive.

'Sea-Fever' remains one of the most popular poems of the last century, and John Masefield one of the most popular poets, a superb spinner of yarns and ballads of tall ships, exotic seas, of the deep-rooted life of rural England, and of the great narratives of Troy and Arthurian legend. This book includes his most popular poems and a few previously uncollected rarities. All share Masefield's love of particular lives: he draws the reader into his stories with an incomparable music of language. This is a representative selection of the poems, in chronological sequence spanning his long career. The editor also provides a full introduction to his work.
