"Chocolate, hot sex, danger -- the way to a woman's heart!"

Romance Suspense | Romance

Gina Ryan spends her days on a cruise ship spinning ingredients into decadent desserts. It's a chaotic, stressful life that she loves. But something is happening to her body that she knows may change her future choices.

When Gina meets Navy SEAL Trace O'Halloran, she knows they can have no future together, since he's clearly committed to his dangerous work and she's committed to her own life. But man, a few nights with this guy might be worth the danger of a little heartache.

What Gina doesn't know is that danger to her heart may be more literal than figurative. Trace's presence on her cruise ship means evil is nearby and this pastry chef will be forced to recall skills from her previous life as a cop.

Trace has been given the cruise ship detail, which was supposed to be easy, to complete his recovering process after he was almost fatally injured during another assignment. By the time he figures out it won't be a breeze, he's already more worried about Gina's safety than his own.

Ms. Skye's series involving the ultra-secret Navy SEAL organization is a well-blended mix of romance (read hot) and suspense. The romance definitely takes precedence as the strong element in this story, but the SEAL's super abilities and assignments are intriguing. Looking forward to Dakota's upcoming story!

SUMMARY

One burned-out Navy SEAL, one cop-turned-pastry-chef and one luxury cruise ship full of rich vacationers - a surefire recipe for trouble!

Dodging a shipload of oversexed women in bikinis would be most men's idea of paradise. But Trace O'Halloran isn't your average vacationer. Under orders to take some high- seas R&R, the Navy SEAL stumbles onto an onboard murder plot and it determined to stop the mysterious assassin. That would be easier if he wasn't constantly distracted by resident pastry chef Gina Ryan.

Trace recognizes a kindred warrior spirit in Gina, and when she's threatened by his elusive target, the two of them band together to protect the ship. Now with the clock ticking, the pair must marshal every weapon at their disposal be it body armor or chocolate gouache to thwart a sinister mastermind!
