The Priest & the Princess: into the Swell: Book 7

Drugged and shackled to the briefcase with gold coins, and to each other, Ryker and Tiara have been left on the yacht to die. To make matters worse, Sasha set a fire onboard, which is beginning to rage. The key is to find a way to be freed, but Ryker wants to take the briefcase too, knowing that if left behind its contents can be incriminating to Tiara and himself. They get to a life raft, but safety is not the order of the day. The life raft drifts and bobs into a sea of storms, where pelting rain and heaving seas await them. The storm erupts, the mood dark and foreboding, when suddenly there is a loud crack and the splintering of wood - the life raft's demise a foregone conclusion. Ryker and Tiara hold onto each other, kiss, then go down into the swell.
