A Heist on the Ice finds cruise director Kennedy Reeves helping on a VIP test cruise as the Malina returns to her Alaskan waters. Things start out rocky when the welcome Kennedy receives is as glacial as the temperature of the waters. And who does Kennedy see on the manifest? None other than the formidable Vera Jameson and the last passenger Kennedy ever wanted to see again—LaVonda Taylor, the woman who tried to have her fired years ago. Things don’t get any better when the Malina’s cruise director, J. Mitchell Templeton, threatened by Kennedy’s presence on the ship, decides to treat her like his assistant. When he’s not dumping his duties on Kennedy, he’s finding ways to thwart her. And while Kennedy and the passengers are taking in Alaska’s dazzling beauty, someone else is busy pocketing other sparkling things.
