Fresh from humanitarian work in Africa, Eleanor Thompson is no ordinary doctor. Few know she is Countess Ashworth — and mother of William Thompson, sole heir to a global shipping empire.
She boards the luxury liner Britannia for one reason: her son William's engagement to Sophia Montgomery, a fallen noble's daughter. But Sophia mistakes Eleanor for a stowaway. She torments, humiliates, and abuses her without restraint.
Having seen Sophia's true nature, Eleanor vows to stop this schemer from marrying into her family. Every wound will be repaid — one by one — on this unforgiving cruise of reckoning.
