From international bestselling author Karen Hamilton comes another pulse-pounding domestic thriller set against a lush, tropical backdrop as a woman fleeing her past as a con artist finds herself trapped aboard a cruise ship with someone who not only knows about that past, but will stop at nothing to get revenge.
It's an offer she can't refuse...and might not survive.
Charlotte has an unsavory past, but she's on the straight and narrow these days. She was so young then—she married the wrong man, falling for Sam's sweet-talking charm and charisma, and got caught up in his con artist games.
If only she'd left him before things went too far.
Now Sam is missing. But before he disappeared, he left urgent, cryptic messages about someone threatening him—someone who has been threatening Charlotte, too.
So Charlotte takes a job as a personal assistant for an engagement party aboard a private luxury cruise ship, the Cleobella, to get far away from anyone who means her harm.
But as the Cleobella sails through its glittering destinations, 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.

      Two stories of revenge drive this uneven thriller from Hamilton (The Last Wife), both told by Charlotte Wilson, a scam artist who’s trying to go straight. The first tells how Charlotte was willingly seduced by her soon to be husband, Sam, into a life of preying on gullible cruise ship passengers. The second finds Charlotte estranged from Sam and attempting to build an event- and travel-planning business tailored to the needs of wealthy clients. When she begins receiving text messages from Sam stating that he has been threatened, she ignores them, until the anonymous blackmailer sends her a message, “I know what you both did,” followed by a demand for money. Before she can message Sam, he disappears. Meanwhile, Charlotte accepts an offer to work as a personal assistant aboard a private yacht sailing from the Bahamas to Barbados. During the voyage, Charlotte realizes that her stalker must be on the boat, and the threats escalate. The Caribbean backdrop and exciting finale make up only in part for a lead lacking self-awareness, insight, and wit. Hamilton has done better. Agent: Hillary Jacobson, ICM Partners.
