She’s here to expose the cruise’s matchmaking gimmicks. He’s here to escape the spotlight. Neither expected to fall overboard—into love.

Travel journalist Chloe Williams doesn’t do romance. After one too many heartbreaks, she’s sworn off long-distance relationships and is laser-focused on her career. But when her editor sends her on a singles' cruise to cover its ridiculous, over-the-top dating experiences, Chloe’s determined to keep her distance from the romance—until a booking mix-up lands her in the Sweetheart Suite with a grumpy, infuriatingly hot stranger.

Liam Carter is the definition of off-limits. Broody, secretive, and way too good at making her heart race, he’s clearly hiding something. But when a viral mix-up forces them into a fake dating charade, complete with mandatory couples’ challenges, trust exercises, and one unforgettable serenade, Chloe finds herself breaking all her rules.

Pretending to fall for Liam was supposed to be easy. Actually falling for him? Not part of the plan.

As the ship drifts closer to shore, Chloe is running out of time. She can walk away like she always planned… or take the biggest risk of all—choosing someone worth staying for.
