Full Steam Ahead
by Valerie Chase
Release Date: 01/14/14
Summary from Goodreads:
Seven days aboard a luxury cruise. The perfect getaway from it all.
At least, that’s what Georgia Cantwell was hoping for.
Georgia wishes she could run away from the nightmare that has consumed her life, but she can’t. With her inbox filling with menacing emails, all she can do is try to get through her sorority’s winter break cruise without anyone realizing how wrecked she is. So she really doesn’t need Jace McLaren seeing through her tacked-on smile when no one else seems to notice.
Growing up with a father in jail, Jace knows from experience that if you’re going through hell, there’s no way out but through. He has always steered away from girls like Georgia with her ice-queen attitude, but she’s in real trouble, and despite himself he pushes past her walls.
As much as Georgia tries to ignore it, Jace won’t let her pretend with him. But she can’t risk telling him the truth. Her past would ruin his trust, her family, her future—everything.
But out on the open ocean, there’s nowhere to hide. And when Georgia’s secrets come tumbling out, it might take more than Jace to save her.

GUEST POST
5 Things You Didn’t Know About FULL STEAM AHEAD!
1. Why did I set Full Steam Ahead on a cruise ship? Well, I
live in the rather un-tropical city of Washington, DC and so I thought it would
be awesome to live vicariously through my characters!
2. I guess you could say that Full Steam Ahead was born at
the Olive Garden. During lunch with a good friend, I told her about an idea I
had for a book—an NA romance set on a cruise. We spent the rest of our meal
brainstorming plot ideas and character motivations!
3. The character of Yasmin, Georgia’s best friend, was so
much fun to write. I initially intended her to be a minor character but I fell
in love with her voice. Not surprisingly, my next book will be Yas’ story!
4. I love coming up with my character’s names. I chose
Georgia because I wanted a name that was sweet and southern. And I chose Jace
because it simply sounded sexy.
5. I’ve always wanted to be a writer but it took me a long
time to complete my first book—which is Full Steam Ahead. I hope you enjoy it!
About the Author:
I'm Valerie but please feel free
to call me Val. I live in the Washington, DC area; and I write New Adult
romance. I'm hoping to publish my first novel (set on a cruise ship!) in late
2013.
As for my writing, I love sexy banter and guys whose hearts are in the right
place, even if their heads sometimes aren't. I love discovering strong, awesome
characters, putting them in entertaining situations, and watching them argue
their way to love.
