Selina has left her father's home, determined to show him she can make it on her own. She is afraid he is trying to set her up to marry someone of his choice. That isn't what Selina wants. His choices in men are totally wrong for her. Going to Los Angeles where no one knows where she is, Selina get a job on a small yacht as one of the crew. Unable to settle down in her shared room - visions of her family keep her tossing and turning - she goes up on deck, in the fresh air. With the breeze blowing, she holds her hair down to keep it out of her face, allowing her skirt to be whipped around her legs. No one is up to see, or she thinks. A deep voice comes from behind her. If she would tuck her hair down into her blouse, she could hold her skirt down. She turns, but can't look up into the man's face. Because she was hired through the employment office, whisked on board, kept busy throughout the first day, she doesn't know that this man is the owner of the yacht, her boss. Derek Sterling. Because neither of them can sleep, he suggests dancing in the dining room to soft music. She makes it feel as if he's floating. Ideas start forming in his thoughts. What can he do to get her to become one of his guests on this 2 week cruise, rather than his employee?
