Swiftly Tumbling Water

About the Book

Brock Manning, a handsome and hardworking heir of immense wealth, sets off on a course that could result in the destruction of the very heritage that has paved his way, with unimaginable outcomes and irreversible damage to many of the biggest names and personalities in the country. Seeking anonymity and solitude, he decides that a long cruise to the South Pacific would be the perfect place to hide out in plain sight while he works in the privacy of his suite. His only agenda is to write ten thousand words. But he soon discovers that he must mingle with regular folks, and he becomes entangled in their affairs in ways he never would have imagined. Brock navigates the problems presented by the gorgeous Audra, her two obnoxious children, and their ambitious nanny. Then there is the continuing saga of the cantankerous Madame Annadale DuPree, who charms him with her incredible but true stories. And what should he make of the lovely Leah, who has been placed on the ship to spy on him? In this novel, a billionaire embarks on a risky mission while on a South Pacific cruise—and gets more than he bargains for when he meets his match along the way.
