A cruise of a lifetime around the Mediterranean - but it's not all plain sailing and holiday romance as Crissy discovers a plot to blow up the ship...

Single, shy and needing to escape her provincial life, Crissy Fitzgerald takes charge of her destiny by joining her friend Jenny on the maiden voyage of the Sea Nymph. Embarking at Athens on a month-long trans-Atlantic cruise, the holiday promises the kind of luxurious adventure that Crissy has only dreamed of - an elusive hope shared by her fellow passengers: a paid escort who knows the price of passion...a loveless romantic novelist whose success hides a vengeful soul...and the ship's handsome doctor, Luca Santo, who offers Crissy a blissful liberation from her inhibitions. But when Crissy meets Mark Vilos, wealthy scion of a famed Greek shipping magnate, her life changes course in the most perilous of ways. Plotted against by bitter rivals, stalked by an unseen enemy, and torn between her desire for two men, Crissy finds herself navigating an unanticipated journey into heartbreak and betrayal, shocking conspiracy and cold-blooded murder. Little does Crissy know that everyone aboard is at risk from a far greater threat yet to come - and sailing headlong into a dead calm, as exquisitely inviting as it is inescapably dangerous...
