Summary

This far north, they say the dead are with us… 

Hogmanay, the far north of Scotland. Alone on the shoreline, lobster fisherman Rob Sinclair pours a dram into the freezing waves of the North Sea. It's a family tradition; an offering to the sea spirit, the Selkie. 

That same night, a stranger arrives in Rob's village. A young woman, Mairi, charged by her dead mother to carry out three acts of vengeance. Bitter revenge for deeds done before Mairi was born. 

Lonely and damaged, Rob and Mairi are drawn to one another. Rob is beguiled by Mairi, but she is elusive, frustrating, her personality shapeshifting. The only certainty is that Mairi is not who she says she is…

    Cowritten by #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone—a steamy Christmas in July rom-com set on a cruise ship where a Twilight inspired musical is being produced...  
    The Rules:No roaming off alone.No secrets.No bodyguard/client fraternization. No olives. 
    This is Krysta Morton’s last job. She’s done with being a bodyguard and is ready for a real nine to five where work stays at work. But when Addison Hayes’s manager offers Krysta a ridiculous amount of money to keep the high-maintenance singer-turned-influencer safe on a cruise, Krysta can’t make herself say no. Not when the money means that she’ll be able to set her grandma up at the nicest senior living community in town. (It has a brand new pickleball court and a juice bar!) 
    Addison Hayes is on top of her game. After a long and healthy career as a B-list celebrity, she’s successfully made the transition to lifestyle brands and her dream of expanding her empire into hotels and cruises is within reach. With her first Cruise with Addison about to disembark, she’s in dire need of hired security while she curates the passenger experience and oversees the debut run of The Lion and the Lamb, her first attempt at producing a musical and her ode to all things Twilight. 
    With Krysta’s no-nonsense attitude, Addison is certain her newly hired bodyguard loathes her. Then a steamy shore excursion reveals that Krysta’s icy shell is hiding her simmering attraction to Addison, and if Krysta isn’t careful, she might start breaking her own rules. But when Addison starts receiving mysterious, threatening notes and cast members start dropping like food poisoned flies, this seven day cruise isn’t turning out to be smooth sailing after all.
