Callista — Cordia Byers

Her family tricked her into a betrothal with an evil old man. There was nothing to do but run...

The first tiling Callista did was disguise herself as a boy, which was not easy with her long raven tresses and voluptuous body. But she managed to get herself hired as a cabin boy aboard a ship bound for America.

Her secret was safe until she fell ill and the captain covered she was a lowly young woman. He became obsessed with her. Finally he seduced her. This was the beginning of a strange love affair in which Callista found herself equally obsessed.
