She thought he was her escape. He became her prison.
After years in an unhappy marriage, Laura had almost forgotten what it felt like to be loved and wanted. Then she met Thomas, a charismatic ship captain who gave her flowers, bought her gifts, took her on trips and promised her a beautiful future.
At first, his attention felt like love. Even his jealousy seemed like proof that he cared. But everything changed much faster than Laura expected. His questions became accusations. His generosity made her financially dependent on him. Soon he was checking her phone, controlling where she went and demanding proof that she was alone.
Far from home, and sometimes trapped on his ship with nowhere to go, Laura began to understand that the man who promised to protect her was the person she needed protection from.
Inspired by true events, The Captain's Prison is an honest and gripping story about love, control, domestic abuse and survival. It is also a story about starting over, rebuilding a life and learning that being alone is far better than living in fear.
