"A mother and daughter each find love on a tropical cruise"

Hannah Hay's marriage is failing apart and her daughter Morgan is all but estranged from her. Going on a cruise together to celebrate Morgan's graduation seemed like a good idea at the time. That is, until Morgan pulled an attitude and abandoned Hannah to her own devices. When Hannah meets handsome South African Lukas Pretorius, she feels like a sensual woman for the first time in years. Does she dare indulge in a shipboard affair? Hannah's husband has been cheating on her for years. Does Hannah finally want to end this façade?

Morgan finds that shipboard life is boring, but is startled to discover her mother isn't in the cabin where she left her. What is Hannah doing with the handsome smooth-talking man? Morgan can't believe her mother is so naïve as to fall for another man. Hannah loves her husband Charles too much, right? When an attractive Interpol agent tells her that her mother is about to be seduced into aiding a jewel thief, Morgan teams up with Scott to get the goods on Lukas.

I won't divulge more to avoid spoiling the story, but needless to say, readers will be shocked by a plot twist in the story. EYE OF DESTINY is told in alternating points of view, from Hannah and Morgan. It would ruin the suspense if the reader was aware of the thoughts of the two men involved. Ms. Tunstall has penned an interesting romance with two very different couples. Luckily for us, a sequel is planned for later this year to continue the story. I cannot wait to see how that one turns out!
