Books like The Captain's Table by Vivian Stuart
The voyage to China is more than a leisurely cruise for Catherine Duncan, who is summoned to sit at the Captain’s Table beside the handsome, distinguished, and surprisingly young commander. But her presence is far from a simple honor; it brings her face to face with Robert Blair—the brother of her late fiancé—who holds her responsible for his brother’s death. As the ship sails across the Pacific, Catherine must navigate the storm of accusation and the oppressive weight of her own guilt, all while maintaining grace in front of a world of discerning passengers and a crew loyal to their charismatic captain.
