Book description
Adam Brenner is looking for a life change when a long-time friend and
associate, Tom Hathaway, offers him a position as casino manager aboard
The Maid of the Seas, a luxury cruise ship out of Port Canaveral,
Florida. Trying to leave behind haunting memories of an alcoholic
boyfriend on a path to destruction, Adam succumbs to the Latin charm of
Vittorio Borghese, the ship's architect. After a night of hot sex, Adam
thinks he might have found the one to help him forget the misery of the
past, but Adam soon discovers that life on board a floating resort has
its drawbacks to go hand-in-hand with the perks. Dismayed by the
hostility shown toward him by the ship's captain, and Vittorio's seeming
indifference, Adam finds comfort in the company of Brett Jarvis, a
talented singer/guitarist who plays nightly in the ship's lounge bar.
The two men quickly form a warm and loving relationship, and Adam starts
to look forward to 'a life on the ocean wave', thinking that it will now
all be plain sailing. However, he soon discovers that out on the vast
regions of the Atlantic, sudden squalls, both natural and man-made,
happen all too frequently-and some people are definitely not the great
guys they appear to be. Reader Advisory: This story has been previously
