Fun, friendship and romance are on board as four lifelong friends embark on a holiday singles cruise in this heartwarming Christmas novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels.

The perfect gift for fans of Robyn Carr, Mary Kay Andrews, RaeAnne Thayne, and Hallmark Christmas Movies – now in paperback!

At Ridgewood High, Amy, Frankie, Rachael, and Nina formed a deep bond. Now, fifteen years after leaving school behind, they’re back for a reunion, laughing, reminiscing, and chatting about how much has changed—and how much hasn’t. All four are strong, successful, and somehow, still looking for the right partner. But Frankie has an idea to help solve that: a singles cruise for the holidays.

In late December, the four friends gather in Miami, ready to board their state-of-the-art cruise ship. The entertainment options are endless, the food is to die for, and the passenger list includes hundreds of eligible men. The highlight of the week will be a magnificent New Year’s Eve celebration with multiple theme parties, dancing, and fireworks. The ladies are happy to give Cupid a helping hand here and there, but holidays—like the path of love itself—don’t always go exactly as planned. And over the course of one festive, unforgettable week, all four will set sail on surprising new adventures . . .

“Full of laughter, delight, and a dash of holiday fun.” —Woman’s World on Santa Cruise
