He still loves her. She'd do anything to forget him. Once upon a time, Bohdan Novotnak had it all-the kind of friends you'd only find in a movie, legs that made him one of the fastest skaters on the planet, and a record-breaking collegiate hockey career that paved the way for what should have been an outstanding professional one. But most importantly, he had her. Sloan Joseph has more than enough worries to write a thesis on, and even though she's spent her whole life studying other people, her brain's still a puzzle she's not really sure how to solve. But the one thing she'd always been sure of was him. Until a split second changed everything, and now, Bohdan does his best to avoid his old dreams and the picture of Sloan still burning a hole in his pocket, while she tries to convince herself the solution to missing Bohdan is moving to a new country. The only real ties left between them are fading tattoos and the best friends they still share. When those same friends invite them on a week-long Mediterranean cruise, the last thing they're expecting is each other. To survive the week, they strike a deal and try to pretend to be nothing more than strangers. But for two people who were once everything to each other, pretending to be nothing isn't as easy as it seems.
