I Joined a Whaling Ship to Disappear... But the Captain Knows the Name I Buried With My Past.

In 1859, poet Jonah Reed joins a whaling ship out of New Bedford under a false name, hoping to leave his ruined reputation ashore. On his first night aboard, Captain Vincent Hale calls him by the name he thought he had escaped. Jonah expects exposure, demands, or another reason to regret the poems he once wrote about love between men. Instead, he discovers that the captain still owns his book—and has been reading it for years. As Jonah struggles to learn a sailor’s work, private conversations draw him toward a man whose authority makes trust complicated. This historical M/M romance follows a writer caught between the safety of silence and the risk of being known by someone whose opinion has begun to matter. #mmromancebooks #historicalromance #MaritimeRomance
