About the Book

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

Jacob’s stomach knee-jerked his heart. Noel. “Hey, man.” Jacob sprinted after his friend.

Oblivious to him, Noel plodded up the hill of Dupont Street.

Two skinny men in T-shirts and jeans rushed past Jacob. The one in a stocking cap gripped a dagger in his left hand. The shorter one aimed his gun at Noel.

“Stop. Halt.” Jacob sprinted after them, his pulse pounding in his ears. His only hope was to tackle one of them. “Halt.”

            The shorter man stopped, spun toward him and bull’s-eyed his pistol at Jacob’s chest.

            He feinted to the right, but the bullet pierced the sleeve of his jacket. Hot coals seared his arm. Lurching back into the chase, Jacob pulled out his phone, dialed emergency and requested an ambulance. “Hey, guys. You missed.” Blood trickled down his wrist. If he could draw their attack, maybe Noel could make it to safety. “Hey bud, I’m coming.”

Halfway up the hill, his friend tottered and sank to his knees. Flung out his arms like a marathoner too weak to cross the finish line. Then his arms fell to his side, his head flopped onto his chest.

            “Don’t give up, man. Run, run.” Jacob’s yell shrieked off the buildings. He forced his legs to pump harder, faster.
