I have just disembarked from a luxury cruise liner in the Carribean. But while modern day is the main focus I sometimes flash back to the Roaring 20's and what really happened: was it murder/suicide or just murder?
Crazy for You by Kate Angell
I am re-reading Nora Roberts' Captivated. Can't afford to make a trip to my favorite bookstore yet, so I'm stuck reading what I've got here. I'll probably read another book in the series (the Donavon Legacy) after I've read the last few pages of this one.

Here's a good synopsis from the first book in the series, called Archangel (The other books, in order of publication, are Jovah's Angel, The Alleluia Files, Angelica and Angel-Seeker--I'm sort of in the midst of rereading the series right now.)
From the inside first page of the paperback:
"And so it came to pass. . .
Through science, faith and force of will, the Harmonics carved out for themselves a society that they conceived of as perfect. Diverse peoples held together by respect for each other and the prospect of swift punishment if they disobeyed their laws. Fertile land that embraced a variety of climates and seasons. Angels to guard the mortals and mystics to guard the forbidden knowledge. Jehovah to watch over them all. . .
Generations later, the armed starship Jehovah still looms over the planet of Samaria, programmed to unleash its arsenal if peace is not sustained. But an age of corruption has come to the land, threatening that peace and placing the Samarians in grave danger. Their only hope lies in the crowning of a new Archangel. The oracles have chosen for this honor the angel named Gabriel, and further decreed that he must first wed a mortal woman named Rachel.
It is his destiny and hers. And Gabriel is certain that she will greet the news of her betrothal with enthusiasm, and a devotion to duty equal to his own.
Rachel, however, has other ideas..."
No, I didn't read them in order.
