DANGEROUS FANTASIES
Slocum had it all: the perfect family, the perfect home, and the perfect job with X-Corp Multimedia–a major producer of interactive 3-D dreams.
Then Slocum’s career at X-Corp self-destructed, and with it his life. Now his world has shrunk to a tiny sloop berthed in the dingy harbor of a dying New England seafaring town. There he studies the legendary Smuggler’s Bible and dreams of sailing off to a life of freedom.
Then an enormous ocean liner docks beside him: a floating palace of glittering wealth and mystery with a single enigmatic passenger, a woman who restlessly walks the decks, unable to leave the ship.
For Slocum–rejected by his wife and daughter, hounded by his vengeful employers, harassed by the town police, his credit cut off, his funds running out–the alluring woman soon becomes his sole hope of escape. Only by learning her terrifying secret can he free her from her gilded captivity...and realize his own dreams–which, in a world of mass-produced fantasy, is the most forbidden pursuit of all.
