When I started reading this I had a difficult time adapting to the writing style of this author. I'm not sure quite what it was, but as the story went on I learned to adapt.

This is the story of a widow who is starting up her own cruise line. Her much older deceased husband had dreams of running the cruise line and she wants to keep his dream alive.

However, there is a rival in the cruise industry who wants to make it extremely difficult for her to succeed. These two arch rivals will have to learn to work together due to some un-forseen circumstances.

This wasn't the best read, but a fun Spring/Summer book.

Two cruise ship magnates butt heads over business. She's widow; unbeknownst to her, he's her husband's illegitimate child.
They compete but there's attraction, and when deadly accidents start occurring around the woman, she must decide whether he's playing a deadly game or is safe harbor.
Kinda of formulaic, and despite moving quickly, the villain will be known before the end.
Definitely a beach or plane read.

The book was quite good !! There was be a nice intrigue, that takes place in Italy, Miami and the main characters are two owners of cruise ship companies.
Also a part of the book goes back during 2nd world war.
