    Chapter Three
    The limo slowed to a stop at the Charlotte Amalie Harbor. Two cruise ships were docked at the concrete pier as traffic yielded the right of way to the pedestrians in the crosswalk.
    It was all Vivi could do not to gawk in amazement at the size of the giant ships anchored in the harbor. Sure, she’d been on cruises before, but never paid much attention to the outside of the ship. She could see the passengers walking around the decks, eagerly awaiting their turn to go ashore. But to do so she had to crane her neck upward to get the full effect.
    The driver continued on and turned onto a side street. Vivi leaned closer to the window to see the sign. Yacht Haven Grande, it read. And from the look of the boats docked there, it was definitely a haven for yachts.
    And not just a few, there were over two dozen tied up.
    “Would you look at the size of that one? It’s like an office building.”
    “That looks more like a floating hotel than a yacht,” Jeff said softly. “Which one do you think is Santori’s?”
    “That one,” Vivi lifted her hand and pointed to a huge ship docked in one of the slips. “ No Regrets . Interesting name, but it certainly does fit the owner.”
    “We will be arriving momentarily at Mr. Santori’s yacht. If you would like to go into town, please let me know and I’ll take you wherever you’d like. Also the Yacht Haven Grande does have its own dining and shopping complex, should you prefer to stay within the marina. You have only but to ask.” The driver filled them in on all the surrounding options.
    Minutes later, Vivi once again accepted the drivers hand as she alighted from the limo. The bright sunshine nearly blinded her as her gaze quickly swung back and forth, trying to take it all in.
    “Thank you. This is magnificent.”
    “It does tend to take one’s breath away,” the driver replied before heading to the trunk to retrieve the luggage.
    “Take your breath away is an understatement,” Jeff said, shaking his head. “This could render a guy speechless.”
    Vivi followed the driver up the gangplank and onto the yacht.
    “Welcome aboard the No Regrets , Miss Bloom, Mr. Hogan, Mr. Baker. It’s a pleasure to have you traveling with us this week. My name is Roland, Mr. Santori’s personal valet, and I’ll be taking care of you while you enjoy your time aboard. If there is anything you require, at any time of the day or night, you have only but to press the number one button on your stateroom phones. That will connect you to me directly. Thank you, Benjamin.” The valet turned to the driver and clapped him on the back.
    “And as Benjamin already mentioned, he is at your disposal if you wish to journey into town, go out to dine, or anything else you desire while we are in port.”
    This was like being given the keys to Disney World, Vivi thought. Ask and you shall receive.
    “Miss Bloom if you’ll follow me, I’ll show you to your stateroom first so that you may freshen up, if you’d like. Gentleman, if you’d be so kind as to have a seat on the terrace, I’ll be back promptly to show you to your staterooms as well.”
    Vivi followed Roland across the terrace, into what she thought might be the living room, then across the room into an elevator and up two floors. At least she thought they were called floors on a boat. By the time they alighted from the elevator, Vivi’s head was spinning trying to take it all in.
    The elevator doors opened to a view of the ocean directly in front of her.
    “Here we are at your suite. I hope this is to your satisfaction, Miss Bloom.” Roland stepped back, allowing Vivi to precede him through the opened door and into the suite.
    “Holy crap,” the words slipped out before Vivi had a chance to stifle them. “Sorry, Roland.”
    The man merely smiled and deposited her luggage inside the door. “No worries, Miss. I’ve been tempted to say worse on more than one occasion myself. The first look at the yacht and its
