Scarlet Wave - Paperback

by J. D. Harbor (Author)

Some waves crash against you. Others carry you exactly where you need to be...

Scarlet Bellari has done everything right. As a senior accountant at a prestigious Miami firm, she's spent years proving her worth, chasing promotions, and being indispensable to everyone around her. But when she's passed over for advancement yet again, and her free-spirited sister Jade announces an unexpected engagement, Scarlet realizes that doing everything perfectly hasn't gotten her anywhere that matters.

Exhausted by her own competence, Scarlet finds herself pushed toward an unexpected adventure by the two women who know her best: her bold best friend Cami and newly engaged sister Jade. When Cami practically drags her onto a singles cruise aboard the luxurious Elysian Serenade, Scarlet isn't looking for love. Armed with wine, laughter, and brutal honesty, this unlikely voyage becomes exactly the push she didn't know she needed.

Then she meets Jerry Duncan. A quiet, steady soldier and devoted single father to two special needs sons, Jerry sees the woman beneath her polished exterior and makes her feel chosen, not just useful. But loving Jerry means embracing a life she never planned: military deployments, stepmother responsibilities, and the vulnerability of letting someone else share the load. With Cami's fierce loyalty and Jade's unexpected wisdom cheering her on, Scarlet discovers that sometimes the scariest leap is the one worth taking.

Scarlet Wave is Scarlet's story: an emotional journey about the difference between earning love and receiving it, and discovering that the life you never planned might be exactly the one you need.

Dive deeper with Golden Shores, the companion novel that reveals Jerry's perspective on their shared voyage of the heart.

Set sail with the RomantiSea Serenades series, where every journey is a chance to find yourself, and love is always part of the adventure.
