All Hearts on Deck

In matters of the heart, it’s sink or swim.

When Sophia Sosa and her friends booked a two-week Caribbean cruise to celebrate graduating college, she was still dating golden boy Nolan Byrne. One ugly breakup later, and Sophia is now trapped at sea with an ex who’s trying to get under her skin, and a group of friends who desperately want everyone to get along. At least Sophia is able to swap rooms with Nolan’s stepbrother, notorious bachelor Dominic Cañas, for an ounce of personal space.

When it becomes clear that Nolan is determined to rebound with other singles on the ship, a hurt and heartbroken Sophia keeps finding herself drawn to Dominic. They’ve known each other a long time—he’s the one who introduced her to Nolan—though she always figured they were never in the cards. But with Nolan already moving on, shouldn’t she seize the moment too?

One impulsive hookup leads to another, and suddenly Sophia and Dominic are looking for excuses to sneak off with each other. But if anyone finds out, it could shatter their fragile friend group, not to mention Sophia’s barely mended heart. Is it possible to hide a secret in close quarters? And can Sophia really keep things strictly casual, or is she cruising toward a second heartbreak?
