She needed an escape. He needed a fake girlfriend. Neither expected to fall overboard—into love.

Olivia Carter doesn’t do romance. As the queen of avoiding complications, she has one rule—never mix real feelings with temporary flings. So, when her best friend books her on a luxury singles cruise, she has no plans to find love… just a sun-soaked vacation and a ticket home.

But then there’s Noah Reynolds—charming, steady, off-limits Noah. The guy who’s been in her life forever, the one she swore she’d never see that way. And when a mix-up lands them in a fake dating scenario, complete with forced proximity and an itinerary packed with couples’ activities, Olivia’s simple getaway turns into something dangerously complicated.

Because pretending to be Noah’s girlfriend was supposed to be easy. Catching actual feelings? Not part of the plan.

As their ship drifts closer to shore, Olivia is running out of time. She can let Noah go and return to the life she swears she wants… or finally admit that love isn’t a risk. It’s the one thing worth holding onto.
