The Admiral’s Daughter by Alyson Root: List

A slow-burning sapphire romance set on the high seas

An arrogant sailor who never stops.
A wary reporter who distrusts the Navy.
One reckless night turned into months at sea…

The Royal Navy has the ability to comment that the Dawson River never anchors in the same port twice – especially for women. Known as the heartbreaker of the fleet, she lives for unconditional seduction and quick departures. But River’s come-and-go lifestyle hits rough waters when her latest red-headed love interest is the admiral’s daughter and her new crew aboard the Queen Elizabeth.

Cleo Carter has sworn off working with the Mariners. Over the years she’s seen duty take precedence over family and experienced so many heartbreaks that she’s tired of ocean life. But when she’s assigned to cover her father’s ship, Cleo finds herself trapped on board with a woman she was supposed to stay on shore.

As scandal brews and sparks ignite below decks, River and Cleo must decide whether their chemistry is just a fling on the ship or the beginning of something worth risking everything.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn lesbian romance, forbidden love, and snarky banter.
