Anniversary vacation with Royce. I accidentally say what I think out loud. He can't handle it. Turns violent. It's my mistake. I know better than to be honest with him. After ten years of this marriage, I've taken more than a lump or two. That's just what marriage is, for better or for worse. I took the vow. I'm not trying to go back on my word.

But something inside me snaps.

And I grab a glass from the shelf of our cute little cabin on the ship.

I fight back for the very first time in my life.

It was a thick, heavy glass.

I didn't mean to do it.

Royce isn't moving.

My turn to captain Jacob's new boat B&B. Between the investigation and a major SNAFU on my latest foreign military training assignment, I could use the time away.

Except I'm being followed. All the way up to East Greenwich.

As if that wasn't enough, the clientele situation is also unhinged. The lady, she's magic. I can hardly tear my eyes off her. Her husband? A filthy, disgusting abuser. I have to physically prevent myself from snapping his neck like a twig in their first five minutes on the boat.

Then she kills him. I didn't see that coming.

Now I've got to get rid of the body and figure out who's in the woods, tracking my every move. Because they've seen everything.

And all I want is to protect her. Because this murderer...is the love of my life.
