A happy ever after is not in the cards for me. But a short fling aboard a ship crossing the Atlantic might just be exactly what I need. When my friends suggest I take a much-needed vacation on their Valentine's Inc. hosted cruise, I leap at the chance. I don't have a lot of expectations for this matchmaking singles cruise--I'm certainly not looking for a future Mr. Chase Kelton. What I'm not prepared for is walking into my assigned suite to find a man passed out on the first day. I recognize the shy barista immediately. He's been serving me my morning fix for a year and driving me crazy with the hard shell he keeps locked around himself. I want to break it. I know there's an entirely different man beneath it that I'm itching to reveal. Reign is the proverbial fish out of water, and when I discover the real reason he's on this cruise, I see an opportunity I can't resist. He needs a companion to show him the ropes--I can do that and so much more. An introverted barista with a crush, a wealthy executive afraid to fall in love, and a summer fling with an expiration date neither of them wants to keep.
