Shell Game (Prequel – Brooklyn's story - in the contemporary romance Aloha Series)

He's High Risk… She's High Stakes.

Tricked into taking a Caribbean cruise, former Navy SEAL Luke "Brooklyn" Chapman is expecting free-flowing booze, bikini-clad women, and an abundance of recreation.

Hardworking Sharla Kramer has her hands full keeping her sticky-fingered grandmother out of trouble. Looking forward to a nice rest while on vacation, the last thing she needs in her life is a high risk Navy SEAL.

Toss in a couple of swindlers, a retired cop, and a few fun-loving ladies in red hats, and a little high seas R&R quickly becomes a lot of high stakes shenanigans!

More about Shell Game from the author

Set on a Caribbean cruise, I had an especially fun time writing the Aloha prequel Shell Game. I love all the quirky characters and the mayhem that follows them both on and off the ship. Adding exotic tropical ports and moonlit nights, I did my best to make Shell Game the fun-filled vacation read.

Enjoy! And please don't forget to leave a review when you're done. I'd love to hear what you thought of Shell Game!
