The opportunity of a lifetime—that’s the last line of the newspaper ad that entices twenty-year-old Adrienne Deneau to apply for the stewardess position. The catch? Northeastern Cruise Line Associates isn’t home to any luxury Caribbean liners. Instead, the MV Amelia is an informal 74-passenger vessel that caters to retirees, making stops in an odyssey of idyllic New England and Hudson River ports of call. Fed up with the extramarital behaviors at her current job and still riven by the infidelity that destroyed her family, Adrienne accepts the stewardess position to give herself a much-needed change of scenery, ultimately getting more enmeshed than she bargained for. Onboard the Amelia, Adrienne meets her crewmates: a group of complex and uninhibited twentysomethings, all with dark secrets and exploits of their own. Her new peers include the captain’s treacherous stepdaughter—who quickly becomes Adrienne’s archnemesis … and a tailor-made guy who happens to be completely off-limits—forcing Adrienne to choose between desires she’s never known and morals she’s been cautioned never to stray from. Readers are invited back to 2007 … to a story vivid with hallmarks of an era throwback … to a work filled with destinations charming and diverse … and into the minds of a captivating array of characters you won’t soon forget ...
