Ebook Deal of the Day: $6.99 Unexpected Hero (The Southern Seas Series) by Gwendoline Ewins

Genre: Historical Romance

The South Pacific, 1866
Churnside men have always sailed the southern seas – until Sebastian, who gets seasick as soon as he steps into a boat. Yet he doesn’t hesitate to leave Sydneytown and sail to remote Makatea to the aid of long-time family friends.
When ‘The Silver Star’ billows into the bay the last person Charity Trescothick expects to see is Sebastian Churnside. “I have come to help,” he says simply and warms her heart.
Reverend Trescothick berates himself for failing to resettle Charity among friends and family in Sydneytown years ago and immediately sees Sebastian as the answer to his prayers. He connives to have him and Charity marry – a hard task given each is scarred by childhood tragedy and in all the years of their acquaintance they have never warmed to one another. But it is soon clear to Charity that Sebastian is far more than an aloof businessman, just as Sebastian realizes Charity is more than the dutiful daughter of a missionary.
