Book: Cruise to Death
Author: Sara L. Jameson
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: June 1, 2021
When opera singer Riley Williams agrees to sub as a musical-theater performer on a luxury Rhine/Moselle riverboat cruise, she gets more than she bargained for. Not only must she come up with 250 Broadway songs, she is required to dance with the male passengers. Dance—the subject she nearly failed in her Conservatory courses, and the cause of her recent flop in a European Opera House. To make matters worse, she overhears two terrorists at a café in Antwerp, Belgium, discussing the transfer of deadly agent X to the highest bioterrorist bidders.
Interpol agent Jacob Coulter, an anti-terrorism desk analyst in Brussels, Belgium, insists on serving as an undercover agent after his best friend Noel is murdered by terrorists from the Brussels cell he infiltrates. Shortly before Noel dies, he manages to tell Jacob snippets of the terrorists’ plans. Plans that seem to involve the same riverboat cruise Riley is on. When Interpol learns of Riley’s encounter with terrorists, Jacob’s supervisor insists he work with her to identify the terrorists and retrieve agent X. But their relationship is fraught with distrust because of Riley’s suspicious past and a romantic attraction neither of them wants.
Book Excerpt
The clerk glanced up, then muttered something and flicked his head toward the rear of the store. The young man grabbed the computer and fled through the black curtains behind the counter.
Jacob rammed his fists in his pockets. Another missed op. First thing in the morning, he’d make certain HQ put this place on its radar. He stepped outside the shop. Focus. Focus. He was here to find Noel.
As he sidestepped the clothing racks blocking the narrow sidewalk and strolled toward a group of women shrouded from head to toe in black hijabs, they averted their gaze. Whisked their baby strollers between the clothing stands, mother hens shielding their chicks from the big, bad American trespassing Muslim territory.
Without missing a beat, the bearded shopkeeper of the dress shop planted himself in the doorway. He folded his arms, his glower razoring him like jambiya daggers.
Jacob hesitated. Some Muslim neighborhoods banned the entrance of any non-Muslim. Everyone knew Brussels’ police officers often refused to enter certain districts without a vanload of back-up assistance. Vans that might not show up.
