Taken at Riptide (Love the Captain #5) by Amanda Sandton.epub

Who is going to rescue Meredith now that she is in the power of the kidnappers?
Do the police have the resources to pursue her case?
What can the Captain do, tied as he is to his duty as Ship’s Master of the "MV Albion"?

This exciting and sexy New Adult Romance (Part 5) continues the story of eighteen year-old Meredith Roxley, a young American from Vermont. During her early teenage years she was abused by Kempton. She escaped his clutches, but he has hunted her ever since, trying to find her and re-establish his control over her.

Her personal history so traumatized her that she buried her natural sexuality behind an imaginary wall. She, herself, wanted to breach this wall and be a normal teenager, but every time she tried she would be overcome by a terrifying gray miasma.

While on a long voyage aboard the luxurious cruise ship the "MV Albion", Meredith met Captain Raphael Maynard and fell in love with him. Although knowing nothing of her past, he was patient with her and eventually broke through her inhibitions to show her how pleasurable and joyful sex can be. When her Aunt Clara found out she whisked the family off the ship in Perth, Western Australia. However, waiting there in Australia for Meredith’s arrival was Kempton. Merry escapes from Kempton and her aunt Clara takes the family back on board the "MV Albion".

The Captain and Merry continued with their romance, but fell out when they reached Cape Town because the Captain was trying to control her lifestyle and her friendships. Merry went ashore with Sukey to collect Kate from the airport, but the three girls were kidnapped on their way back to the ship.

Full of unexpected twists and turns, the story continues with "Riptide at Sunset", which ends with a cliffhanger. The eventual end of the story will be a Happy Ever After. (The adult content of this story makes it suitable for 18 and over.)
