“Don’t let fear be the anchor that keeps you from sailing.”
Scarlet Bellari is everyone’s first call and nobody’s first choice.
She has the family, the friends, the Miami skyline she grew up loving. What she doesn’t have is a promotion at the accounting firm that keeps thanking her and promoting someone else, or a dating pool that’s offered her anything worth the risk. She boarded the cruise with her best friend, a cabin key, and a week’s worth of excuses to stop thinking. Jerry Duncan was not on the brochure.
Jerry isn’t looking to be found either. A soldier, a single father to two boys, guarded in a way she recognizes. He wasn’t supposed to fit. By the time the ship turns for home, he’s the only thing that does.
Somewhere between sun decks and stolen conversations, the line between escape and real life goes blurry. But shore leave ends. Ships dock. And Scarlet has been carrying things she can’t put down in the life she built.
What does she do when the Elysian Serenade sends her back to a life that no longer fits?
Scarlet Wave is a complete standalone romance centered on Scarlet’s side of the voyage. Readers looking for the full picture will find Jerry’s in Golden Shores, a companion novel set across the same week at sea.
Part of RomantiSea Serenades, where the harbor you know is rarely the one that calls you home.
