RomantiSea Serenades

Some performances are meant to last forever. Others are meant to set you free...

For nearly a decade, Steve has been the undisputed king of Mingle at Sea cruises. With his electric blue wig, glittery costumes, and infectious energy, he's the unofficial ringleader who turns every voyage into an unforgettable adventure. This voyage should be his crowning achievement: celebrating ten years of adventures with his induction into the Hall of Fame.

But beneath the sequins and synthetic hair, cracks are beginning to show. What started as pure joy has become something more complicated, and Steve is starting to wonder if the man he's become is the man he's meant to be.

When a familiar face from his past boards the ship, everything he's built threatens to unravel. She sees through his glittery disguise in ways that both terrify and exhilarate him, forcing questions he's spent years avoiding. With his cruise family watching and his reputation on the line, Steve must navigate uncharted emotional waters.

Between pool parties and treasure hunts, costume changes and unexpected reunions, this voyage becomes more than a celebration. It becomes a reckoning with the price of perfection and the courage required to let people love you as you really are.

Can you build a life on performance alone? Or does real connection require something deeper, something more vulnerable than glitter and charm?

Amplified Pyrite is a standalone novella set within the world of the RomantiSea Serenades. Set sail on a journey of self-discovery, second chances, and the healing power of chosen family. Because sometimes the most important voyage is the one that brings you home to yourself.
