Hull And Hunger

Willa Strauss flees an arranged marriage orchestrated by her ruthless human trafficker father by stowing away on a steel trawler. The vessel is captained by Brennan Locke, a disciplined smuggler who lives by cold calculation and avoids all attachments. When Brennan discovers the defiant stowaway, his isolated world is shattered. Before he can decide what to do with her, a catastrophic hurricane strikes the Gulf of Mexico, trapping them together inside a flooding cabin. Cut off from the mainland, Brennan takes absolute control of their survival, managing the rations and the keys to her confinement. As they endure the pitch black heart of the storm, the boundary between captor and savior washes away completely. Locked in the dark with a dangerously possessive man, Willa discovers an intense and consuming attraction she cannot outrun.
