The Ex-Husband Karen Hamilton

It's an offer she can't refuse...and might not survive. True: Charlotte has an unsavory past. She married the wrong man, got caught up in his con artist games, took what wasn't hers. She got out, though: divorced Sam, started fresh. False: She left him before things went too far. Nothing bad happened. True: Sam is missing, and before he disappeared, he left cryptic messages about someone threatening him--someone who has been threatening Charlotte, too. True: She's on the straight and narrow, has accepted a job as a personal assistant for an engagement party on board a private luxury cruise ship, the Cleobella. False: No one on board knows about her past, and she's far away from anyone who means her harm. As the Cleobella sails through its glittering destinations--the Bahamas, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago--increasingly sinister events haunt the guests, and the turquoise waves and sun-drenched beaches give way to something darker. Someone knows what Charlotte did. Is it the blushing bride? The seemingly placid mother-in-law? Or the mysterious heiress? Someone knows, and someone wants revenge--before the ship reaches its final port.
