Ava Dunne

Smart.  Intelligent.  Sexy. Yoga Instructor Sophie Batchelder’s  wonderful life gets turned upside down when she’s fired from her job and dumped by her fiancé in the same day.  Grabbing the opportunity to assist the yoga instructor on a cruise ship headed for the Bahamas for ten days, she discovers her predecessor's body, and the rumors that she’s taking over in that predecessor’s blackmail operation put her own life in danger.  She must use intelligence, humor, and intuition to clear her name and save her own life.

Along the way, she’s swept up in the frenetic, stressful, life that happens beyond the “employees only” door of a cruise ship, and finds romantic possibilities and disappointments.  Can she live a yogic path and survive cruise ship life? Which of the sexy new men in her life should she trust -- Sebastian Anger, the engineer, who has secrets, but who makes her heart flutter with either pleasure or rage? Andrew, the nurse who goes out of his way to be friendly to her, no matter what the rumors?  Or Detective Duncan Cooke, with the limp, the bedroom eyes, and the five o'clock shadow? Or Dhruv, the head of the Charisma's security, who might have his own agenda to protect the ship at all costs?
