Borbás Edina - Hullámok csapdája
Arabella a fiatal, életvidám, New York-i zongorista lány, nem találja helyét a nagyvilágban. Úgy érzi, menekülnie kell a mindennapi kudarcok, és legfőképpen az őt érzelmileg kihasználó pasija elől.
Változást akar életében, ezért jelentkezik A nagy kaland című valóságshow-ba; azt remélve, hogy a műsor távol tartja tőle a férfit, aki annyi csalódást okozott már neki. Nem is sejti, hogy a lelkében háborgó hullámok csak még inkább felkorbácsolódnak; harcba kerül önmagával és egy új, nem várt szerelem is megérinti.
A játék egy Genovából induló luxushajón zajlik. A műsor szerkesztői mindent megtesznek, hogy végletekig hajszolják a szereplőket. A kezdeti barátságos légkör hamar átcsap ádáz, gátlástalan vetélkedésbe. A törés Arabella számára is elkerülhetetlen: hamar összemosódik játék és valóság.
A feszültséget fokozza, hogy bűnözők rabolják el a műsorvezetőt, váltságdíjat követelve a show szervezőitől. Az erőszak és a zsarolás miatt az irányítás kicsúszik a stáb kezei közül.
A nézők mindebből természetesen semmit nem vehetnek észre; a show-nak folytatódnia kell!
Borbás Edina valóságshow-ba ágyazott kalandos szerelmi története az olvasót New Yorkból Genovába repíti.
Éld át a veszélyt és a viharos szenvedélyeket!

Cosí si trova regolarmente umiliata dai tentativi di sua madre di accasarla con un ricco giovanotto dagli orribili maglioni fatti a mano, terrorizzata dalla bilancia, frustrata da un lavoro che non la soddisfa e dal rapporto con il suo capo, belloccio e, inutile dirlo, principe degli Inaffidabili.

So when Xander Spence walks into the store to pick up a doll for his grandmother, it only takes one glance for Caymen to figure out he’s oozing rich.
