Follow your heart / by Jackson, Brenda(Brenda Streater);
"Victoria Madaris is next on her great-grandmother's matchmaking list--which suits her just fine. She's laser-focused on her career and doesn't have time to concentrate on her love life, too. Knowing that Mama Laverne is vetting unsuitable candidates--like rising US senator Roman Malone--makes things easy. But Roman unexpectedly ticks all of Victoria's boxes. The longtime family friend is outrageously sexy, and every time they meet, their chemistry crackles. Being a journalist, though, Victoria just doesn't trust politicians. Plus, her matchmaker's expert opinion keeps pointing to the charming and handsome Tanner Jamison. And everybody knows, Mama Laverne is never wrong. Suddenly, Victoria sees Tanner everywhere--as if by fate--but she doesn't feel any attraction. Meanwhile, the more Victoria gets to know Roman, the harder it is to resist him. Her head is saying play it safe, but is her heart strong enough to go against her better judgment...and Mama Laverne's?"--

For Stephen, Emma, Perry, Will, Beau, and Lainie, day one is just what the doctor ordered: amazing food, many drinks, lots of laughter, and a sunset cruise around the island aboard their host's custom Van Dutch 55. Day two, however, takes a bewildering turn when the six hungover guests wake up to find that their host has disappeared, along with all connection to the mainland. A touchscreen tablet of unknown make awaits them, blatantly defying the rules of the weekend with its on-screen challenge: Unlock Me!

But what seems at first like just another silly game turns deadly serious when the group discovers what unlocking the tablet really means. Is it the key to their futures, a Pandora's box none of them will ever be able to close, or both? Only one thing is clear: their old friend Ryan has something unthinkable planned. Now it's up to the six of them to stop him. And when this weekend is over, the world will never be the same"--
