The author says of her work: This outstanding story is about two people, madly in love, who grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Chloe and Justin Dumonte, who survive a childhood friend's evil intentions, embark on their journey to London, England, unaware that Mathew Jeffries is also on the ship. Evil lurks as the two newlyweds share their cruise from the Americas to London, England. This book is readable for teens, as well as adults. So sweetly written, this book could be the next full mini-series book to go into film for the entire family.
