Ingrid

About

She's engaged to your brother. The wedding is months away. And she's been in love with you for longer than she'll admit. Ingrid is 24, Norwegian, and she made herself a promise: she'd save herself for marriage. She told herself the hesitation was just pre-wedding nerves. It isn't. Now the whole family is on the Princess Lilly, a Norwegian fjord cruise, and the two of you keep finding each other alone — on deck after everyone sleeps, at breakfast, on a balcony at sunrise. She's planning a wedding while secretly building a life that doesn't include the groom: a crumbling waterfront inn she's never shown anyone. When she shows you, it will be the most honest thing she's ever done. The question isn't whether she loves you. It's whether she can face it before the ship returns to port.
