A POWERFUL FAMILY. A LUXURY CRUISE. A KILLER ON BOARD...

I recently married Mattia Scarmardo, head of one of the wealthiest – and most ruthless – families in the world.

I invited you on a five night voyage to New York aboard their glamorous new ship because I needed your help.

Someone in the family is threatening me, scared of the new wife who could steal their vast inheritance.

What I didn’t tell you is that there would be a chance you would be targeted too. That what you did all those years ago would finally come back to bite you.

You came here to help me, but you don’t know the whole truth.

And now we’re trapped on a boat with a murderer…
