Despite a crippling fear of water, Mara boards a cruise shipbound for the Bahamas. She's been invited to attend a writing retreat with several fellow authors from an online book community. Every instinct begs her to reconsider, but she pushes them down, believing they're just nerves. By the following morning, she wishes she'd listened to her gut. One of the writers is dead, the captain is missing, and all commsare down, making contact with the outside impossible. It doesn't take long for the writers to realize they're being targeted by someone wicked...and they're trapped at sea. Tempers fly and relationships crumble as they realize they must stick together...but they also can't trust each other. Can Mara figure out who the culprit is before she becomes the next casualty lost at sea?
