Inside the Book
The Captain’s Cook is a slow-burning tale of healing, trust, and second chances.
Set aboard a ship where pasts can’t be outrun, it explores the tension between control and surrender, silence and connection, survival and reinvention.
Whether you’re drawn to slow-burn romance, culinary drama, or personal rebirth — this voyage has something waiting for you.
“You can’t control the winds,
but you can adjust your sails.”
Jessica's Journey
She wasn’t running away.
But she wasn’t staying, either.
After a shattering divorce, Jessica Kline finds herself unmoored — emotionally, financially, and spiritually.
A last-minute job offer to cook aboard a sailboat feels like a lifeline.
What begins as an escape becomes a transformative journey through open waters, hard truths, and unexpected connection.
Victoria Vanransom is a writer of emotional, location-rich fiction that explores the fault lines between grief and growth.
She began The Captain’s Cook during a time of personal upheaval — and poured into it her belief that reinvention is always possible, even in the most unlikely places.
