“You really think dropping me on a ship full of bad decisions and overpriced cocktails is the answer?”
Jerry Duncan doesn’t have room in his life for love, and he’s made peace with that.
Between the Army, his two boys, and the things he doesn’t talk about, Staff Sergeant Duncan has built a life where everyone who needs him gets what they need. A divorce left the boys to him and his heart off the table. His mother and his battle buddy insist one week on a singles cruise won’t betray either. He boards the Elysian Serenade expecting to count down the days.
Scarlet Bellari changes the math in ten minutes. Sharp, funny, carrying something she isn’t telling him. Jerry has been a lot of things for a lot of people. He hasn’t been wanted in a long time.
The walls he built start to feel less like protection and more like a room with no windows. But leave ends. Orders come. And Jerry has two sons who need him.
Can a man built for duty still make room for love?
Golden Shores stands on its own as Jerry’s complete romance. For the other half of the horizon, Scarlet Wave walks the same week at sea beside Scarlet.
Part of the RomantiSea Serenades, where the orders you follow aren’t always the ones that lead you home.
