Hunting Party (1993)

An ex-naval captain takes charge of a wealthy woman's yacht and discovers that a civilian employer and a professional crew need different kinds of persuasion. Moon lets Heris Serrano and Lady Cecelia become more interesting through their disagreements, with competence gradually altering their judgements. The ship is a workplace before it is an adventure vehicle. Begin Heris's strand of the Serrano Legacy here; the apparently leisurely setup develops into a much darker rescue story.
