Calling on the seven gods of luck

 A motor-caravan had been fun for a honeymoon but to celebrate the seventh anniversary of a marriage which felt as arid as the river they were camped beside, it was fast becoming a recipe for disaster.

Disaster, however, came from a different direction, providing far bigger challenges than believing that Dan had selected his pretty fitness coach purely for her professional skills, that Leonora really did have to go on all those business trips, and that her suspected pregnancy might make, not break, their marriage.  

Already alarmed by a lone woman fellow-camper claiming to know something from Dan’s past and  concerned about Leonora’s stomach cramps - indigestion or something worse? - the realisation that the overnight storm has created a flash flood which will engulf them unless they learn to trust and co-operate ratchets tensions to a level where failure to adapt will reduce their chances of survival.

This is week #7’s response to Lisa Ricard Claro’s Book Blurb Friday challenge and Lyn Obermoeller’s photpgraph.   Each week Lisa posts a photograph which represents a book cover.   Participants are challenged to “Write a book jacket blurb (150 words or less) so enticing that potential readers would feel compelled to buy the book”
