Sea Fever

0/5 ( ratings)

Thirty-three year old Martin Savage is an insurance broker. But his true love is the sea.

Giving up his job, his home and, potentially, his girlfriend, Tessa, Martin enters the ocean race, TRISTAR — with a hundred thousand pounds in prize money to be won.

On the third day of the race, Martin discovers a stowaway on board.

Shocked, he is beyond enraged — this was a single-handed race and the presence of a stowaway meant instant disqualification.

But how was he supposed to get rid of her … he couldn’t just chuck her overboard.

Or could he?

Victoria Brownson, heart-broken at the end of her affair with her married boss, decides that a few weeks sailing with a gorgeous stranger is just what she needs.

Boarding the ketch ahead of the race, Vikki hopes to fulfil her fantasy.

However, Vikki’s journey onboard Sunboro Beauty is fraught with one disaster after another.

Unused to the sea, her seasickness exposes her to Martin.

What she hadn’t foreseen was the evil behind the handsome exterior.

As Martin and Vikki are stuck in a confined space for a prolonged period of time they realise that helping one another is the only way forward.

But will they embark on a relationship as tension heats up or will Martin’s temper threaten the peace and even Vikki’s life?
