Book 1 of the Calhoun Chronicles by #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs.
Boston and Rio de Janeiro, 1851
An awkward misfit in an accomplished Boston family, Isadora Peabody yearns to escape her social isolation and sneaks aboard the Silver Swan, bound for Rio, leaving it all behind.
Ryan Calhoun, too, had a good family name. But he'd purposely walked away from everything it afforded him. Driven by his quest to right an old wrong, the fiery, temperamental sea captain barely registers the meek young woman who comes aboard his ship.
To the Swan's motley crew, the tides of attraction clearly flow between the two. Teaching her the charms of a lady, they hope to build the confidence she needs to attract not only their lonely captain's attention, but his heart, as well. For everyone knows the greatest charms are not those of the formal lady, but rather the possibilities of a new world built on love.
A historical romance.

      Charmingly read by Stanford, who is one of the talented readers who can read men and women equally well, CHARM SCHOOL centers around homely (or so she thinks) Isadora Peabody, who flees her proper Boston home and becomes the clerk translator on a merchant ship captained by the reckless Southern rogue, Ryan Calhoun. The sailors accompanying her on this voyage to South America become a sort of "charm school" for the awkward Isadora, and it's not hard to guess who swashbuckles his way into her heart! M.C.
