While working on one of her favorite clients, who is raving about her latest European cruise, hair-colorist Crissy decides that a cruise is what she needs to broaden her horizons. Crissy and her wild friend, Jenny, book themselves on a cruise from Athens to Brazil. Jenny has always been the one men want, while Crissy is the wallflower, but at sea men are attracted to her exotic beauty instead, causing a rift in their friendship, especially when she meets the attractive ship doctor, Lucas, and the son of the ship's owner, Mark. Crissy also looses her naivete as she associates with wealthy Europeans both nouveau riche and true aristocrats. The trip is altogether more than she bargained for as she tries to figure out who her friends and enemies are--and what the mysterious problem concerning the ship is. Fans and newcomers alike will be pleased as Gould delivers her signature mix of glamour, wealth, and intrigue. Patty Engelmann
