“This is a literary portrait of a man in love. Its sensory imagery draws the reader into the book, which has a real-life love story full of pain and passion at its heart.”

“He follows a Transylvanian beauty onto a cruise ship. It’s a wonderful ‘boy follows girl’ love story and I can’t wait to read book two!”

David never thought a single conversation could steal his heart and expand his world. But when he strikes an instant connection with a Romanian beauty, he gets swept up in a hilarious, carefree, romantic escape to her native Transylvania. So when she must leave to work on a cruise ship, he impulsively follows her to sea. He’s prepared to endure torturous months apart working like a dog on another ship, if it means he can get them back together. His love for Romina may be strong, but he’s sailing into troubled waters.
