The Fishwife's Prize Joanna Emerson

After her father's death, Chloe Monroe takes over her father's fishing boat and business.. She has to endure ridicule and scorn, being the only fishwife in a market of fishmongers. But that may be easier than returning the affections of one Jamie Harrison and his persistent attempts to win her heart. James has to find a better way to support his mother and sisters and pay off his father's exorbitant debt than through the wages of a longshoreman. Since Chloe, the one person keeping him in Connecticut, has no plans to return his affections, and since the promise of pay is so much, James embarks on a three year whaling expedition. But is whaling really for him? A different skill altogether may steer his destiny.
