The Empress And The Captain

Premise: Love midst danger can be found anywhere in the universe. I began this novel about two years ago. I have completed about two-thirds of it. It is about a man, John Smith, a widower who found an empress who won him in a murder trial. It is better to start at the beginning, but if you have read up to here and have not reviewed the chapters,feel free to jump in.
