title: Beloved Captain
author: Simon, Jo Ann
description: The Nantucket home Catherine Sternwood had inherited from her grandparents was a quiet retreat from her busy life. The lovely old house breathed the serenity of its two hundred years, and, she quickly discovered, something more-Catherine was sharing the premises with Lucien Blythe, a wealthy merchant captain who had lived there a century and a half before-and had vanished without trace. Yet here he was, seemingly a man of flesh and blood, turning her measured world upside down with both fear and attraction.
