Set sail to new adventures and escapes with eight best-selling authors in the exciting Sail Away series!
Jessica Clark is still grieving the loss of her mother when she retires from her teaching position. To honor her long career, her coworkers present her with the gift of an Alaskan cruise. The last thing she wants is to leave her dog behind and take a solo trip. Unable to bear the thought of hurting anyone’s feelings, she reluctantly sets out on a seven-day adventure aboard the Majestic Star.
A sleepless first night spent wondering why she ever came on the trip leads Jessica to the Sky Deck where under the star-filled sky, she meets a beautiful service dog, Rebel, who leads her to his person who needs help.
Dean Nash is a wounded veteran on a trip with his support group and bonds with Jessica over their shared love of dogs, familial woes, and their aversion to cruising. As the voyage progresses, the two of them spend more time together exploring the area and the ship.
Jessica and Dean have been on their own for a long time and find their sudden feelings have them traversing uncharted waters. Will the beauty of the dramatic landscape, endless skies and a furry friend be enough to bring these two bruised souls together and show them there is always a second chance at a new beginning?

Alaskan Gold. This is a tale of a teacher dealing with the first few months of retirement after a 30+ yr career who goes on the cruise she was gifted by her former colleagues and who meets a man dealing with his own issues as well. Other than the age issue specifically, I've actually witnessed similar "relation-*ships*" develop over my 15 years of cruising. Even in this novella, Grace manages to pack in a great deal of both drama and Alaskan Cruise details - even including the seemingly ubiquitous photographers. And yes, because this *is* a tale from Grace... there are dogs. :)
On a series structure side, know that each of these Sail Away novellas are a "series" only in that they all share a general common theme - in this case, that they mostly take place on cruises. Thus, any book in this "series" can be read in any order, and in fact I've now already read a couple of them "out of order" with no harm.
Ultimately yet again a tale with more drama than I've ever personally experienced on a cruise, but which has elements that I *have* observed with friends on cruises. Very much recommended.
