Cruise, Cocktails, and Chaos
(2026)(A book in the Orlinda Valley Book Club series)
A novel by Donna R Madden
Being over fifty and widowed doesn't scare her. Feeling something again does.
When the Orlinda Valley Book Club sets sail for the Caribbean, Tonya McKendry is ready for cocktails, chaos, and a week of avoiding real life with her three best friends.
What she isn't ready for is Daniel Morrison—a man who laughs at the right moments, listens like he means it, and wakes up something in her chest she hasn't felt in years, and for once in her life, she doesn't have a single snarky thing to say about it.
But somewhere between the laughter, the late nights, and the beautiful mess that only four lifelong friends on a cruise ship can create, Tonya starts to wonder if surviving loss was only ever supposed to be the beginning.
Cruise, Cocktails, and Chaos is a story about the terrifying, wonderful, ridiculous business of choosing to live again—and the friends who refuse to let you do anything less.
Genre: General Fiction
