Childhood best friends find unexpected romance on board a cruise ship. But a well-organized mercenary group takes over the ship and threatens their very lives. Cruise ship entertainer and event coordinator Olive Carter didn’t realize she held romantic feelings for her childhood best friend Gerald McBride until she saw him come on board her ship. When the former medic of his Special Forces team appoints Gerry to serve as his best man, Gerry realizes the ship that will host the wedding is the very ship where Olive works. He hopes seeing her outside of their hometown will make her see him in a different light. When they meet on the decks at sea it goes exactly as he had planned. A romantic love replaces the friendship love they’d always shared. They both hate the years they wasted not together. Gerry secretly vows that he will never leave her side again. When motivated and highly organized weapons dealers and mercenaries execute a well-planned action to take over the entire ship, Gerry and his team go into action. They must save the lives of all the passengers, even if they must sacrifice everything along the way.

With nearly a million book sales, USA Today bestselling author Hallee Bridgeman writes action-packed romantic suspense focusing on realistic characters who face real-world problems. Her work has been described as everything from refreshing to heart-stopping exciting and edgy. An Army brat turned Floridian, Hallee and her husband finally settled in central Kentucky so they could enjoy the beautiful changing of the seasons. Hallee’s oldest daughter is a graduate of the University of Kentucky, her middle son struggles as a hexagonal “autism spectrum” peg in this round world, and her youngest son fills the house with wooshes and bangs as he fights imaginary bad guys while wearing a Spiderman costume and wielding a Ninja sword. When she’s not penning novels, you will find her in the kitchen, which she considers the ‘heart of the home’. Her passion for cooking spurred her to launch a whole food, real food “Parody” cookbook series. In addition to nutritious, Biblically grounded recipes, readers will find that each cookbook also confronts some controversial aspect of secular pop culture. Hallee has served as the Director of the Kentucky Christian Writers Conference, President of the Faith-Hope-Love chapter of the Romance Writers of America, is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW), and the American Christian Writers (ACW), and Novelists, Inc. (NINC). An accomplished speaker, Hallee has taught and inspired writers around the globe, from Sydney, Australia, to Dallas, Texas, to Portland, Oregon, to Washington, D.C., and all places in between. Hallee loves coffee, campy action movies, and regular date nights with her husband. Above all else, she loves God with all of her heart, soul, mind, and strength; has been redeemed by the blood of Christ; and relies on the presence of the Holy Spirit to guide her. She prays her work here on earth is a blessing to you and would love to hear from you. You can reach Hallee at hallee@halleebridgeman.com
