“Don’t let fear be the anchor that keeps you from sailing.”

Scarlet Bellari has built her life on ambition. A thriving career in Miami shines on the
outside, but inside she feels restless and worn thin. Romance has never been worth the
risk, especially when dating apps only offered gym bros and finance guys who left her
unimpressed. A weeklong singles cruise is supposed to be nothing more than cocktails,
sun, and a break from pressure.

Then she meets Jerry Duncan, a single dad and soldier whose warmth and steadiness
are unlike anything she has known. His quiet humor and soft strength draw her in, and
their banter turns into something deeper than she ever imagined. For the first time in
years, Scarlet begins to wonder if she has been chasing the wrong kind of success all
along.

What starts as strangers-to-lovers flirtation becomes long walks, late-night
conversations, and a glimpse of found family that feels like home. Falling in love at sea
is effortless, but Scarlet knows the challenge comes when the ship docks and life
demands more than escape.
Told through Scarlet’s eyes, Scarlet Wave is a story of independence, vulnerability, and
the courage to stop performing perfection long enough to be loved for who you are. It
stands alone, yet side by side with Golden Shores, it reveals the full scope of a romance
too powerful to be seen from only one perspective.
