Synopsis

Shining Ferry is about John Rosewarne carrying on his father's legacy and working himself to a lonely and barren death. However, he finds a glimmer of hope in the small everyday moments of his life. Excerpt: "The doctor felt his pulse, took the stethoscope and listened, tapped and sounded him, back and chest, then listened again. "Worse?" asked Rosewarne. "It is worse," answered the doctor gravely. "I knew it. One or two in my family have died in the same way. The pains are sharper of late and more frequent." "You keep that little vial handy?" Rosewarne showed where it lay, close at hand in his watch pocket. "How long?" he asked. "A few months, perhaps." The doctor seemed to hesitate."

    My mission in life is simple. Family. Food. Freedom. Most people don't question my love for my family. And I make my living as a celebrity chef. The freedom part? The thought of being confined—behind bars, at a desk, or in a monogamous relationship—is not something I want for myself. Unfortunately, it becomes a problem when women want to make me their Forever Bae. Even after I make it clear that I'm not looking for more than short interlude. 
     
     
     
    Except . . . when I think of her, when I'm with her, I don't feel stuck. I actually want uninterrupted time with her. Surprised? Me too. 
     
     
     
    Want to know how I ended up in this predicament? I wish I knew because I definitely wasn't looking for it. Maybe it's the way she takes care of me? By listening to the things I say and everything I don't say. 
     
     
     
    Want to know why changing our relationship dynamic is a bad idea? I'm not the only one who wants her. Which makes it very complicated. 
     
     
     
    Want to know another reason why this is a bad idea? My track record speaks for itself. And she deserves someone good. I'm . . . not. 
     
     
     
    The choice is hers, though. I hate to lose so I'm playing to win. And I will show her that it's not him that she needs. It's me.

Enemies will strike, guns will fail, and the team will face some tough choices. Can Kael, Ellen, and the crew pull closer together? Or will this decadent planet rip them forever apart? 
    For lovers of romantic space opera, Lois McMaster Bujold, and David Weber, CAPITAL GAMES is the second volume in the Audacity series. It's got action, adventure, and at least one pair of killer high heels.
