Captain Pott’s Minister

Captain Josiah Pott’s salt-mackerel is still dangling from his fork when he discovers a small army in his yard—and a second one marching into his house. He has faced mutinous crews, but neighbors with brooms may be another matter.

In the close-knit village around Little River church, Captain Pott expects to keep his own house and habits. Instead, the townsfolk are scrubbing his rooms for the new minister, Mack McGowan, who is already living there. Then Elizabeth Fox arrives, and Pott must explain the black eyes he got when he mistook his unexpected houseguest for a pirate. Beneath the bluster, old friction with Elizabeth’s father complicates the welcome, while the minister’s presence threatens to unsettle a household that has managed perfectly well without him. How long can this unlikely crew share one roof before the next collision?
