About the book
H2404 Her job as pianist on a Mediterranean cruise liner should have been as much fun as work for Shona—but alas, it wasn't. True, she had been engaged as accompanist to her fiancé Calvin, an up-and-coming flute player, but his presence there was only spoiling the job instead of completing its pleasure. Certainly she wasn't as talented as he was, but she was doing her best, and he didn't have to be quite so carping and critical! Nor did Marsh Faraday, who had no business at all to be as sarcastic and fault-finding as Calvin. So why did Shona find herself thinking more about Marsh than she was about Calvin ?
