Torte—everybody’s favorite small-town family bakeshop—is headed for the high seas, where murder is about to make a splash. . . Jules Capshaw is trying to keep her cool as Torte gets set to make its transformation from quaint, local confectionary café to royal pastry palace. Meanwhile, Jules’s estranged husband Carlos is making a desperate plea for her to come aboard his cruise ship and dazzle everyone with her signature sweets. She may be skeptical about returning to her former nautical life with Carlos but Jules can’t resist an all-expense-paid trip, either. If only she knew that a dead body would find its way onto the itinerary . . “A warm and inviting atmosphere, friendly and likable main characters, and a nasty murder mystery to solve!” —Fresh Fiction Now, instead of enjoying tropical drinks on deck between whipping up batches of sea-salted chocolates and flambéing fresh pineapple slices in the kitchen, Jules is plunged into dangerous waters. Her investigation leaves her with more questions than answers: Why can’t anyone on board identify the young woman? And how can she help Carlos keep passengers at ease with a killer in their midst? Jules feels like she’s ready to jump ship. Can she solve this case without getting in too deep? “A perfect mix for fans of Jenn McKinlay, Leslie Budewitz, or Jessica Beck.” —Library Journal

I discovered my voice through poetry, she became my muse. Wondering if we converse over fruit and wine would we cross that line or become complacent and life past us by?? Passion Fruit is a metaphor literally, it describes how we can have a random discussion with a woman and she provokes you appetite beyond reason. I look at the beauty of a woman as fruit, tasty, beautiful, sweet, spicy, savior her taste and become appreciative of her presence. Rather seducing her mind, being patient with her, live through her struggle, she’s human. Through a wet dream I had in my mind with her, all types of emotions begin to occur on daily basis. Nutmeg is the origin of our spicy exchange, perfectly my feelings begin to elaborate on a edgy message as a lifetime with her would capture me in dreams.…hope you enjoy my love letter to her lyrically while we take a bite into this fruit with passion.
