Voyage by Elizabeth Walker

Voyage is the dramatic and passionate story of Jake and Harriet, two very strong-willed people, who meet on board ship and start a relationship which is to take them through a lifetime of stormy seas intermingled with safe harbours. Harriet, a plain and dowdy-English woman rises to become one of the wealthiest in the world when, through her marriage to an irascible old man, she inherits an international chain of hotels. Jake, the notorious renegade, turns her into the polished, sexy businesswoman who becomes the envy of millions of women throughout the world.

Moving from America to the Caribeean, from New York to a small English village Voyage spans more than twenty years in the life of this remarkable couple who, too similar to live happily together, find themselves unable to survive apart.
