Some vacations are about relaxation. Others force you to face what you've been avoiding...

Harper Brooks doesn’t know how to be still. With her career hanging by a thread and a high-profile breakup still making headlines, she should welcome the chance to recharge. Instead, being sent on a luxury cruise against her will feels like punishment. She’s used to moving at full speed, chasing success, and proving herself—but surrounded by endless ocean and forced downtime, she’s left alone with thoughts she’d rather ignore.

Aidan Murphy didn’t come aboard Elysian Serenade looking for distractions. He’s spent years putting his family’s business first, setting aside his own dreams in the process. This trip is supposed to be a break—one week to breathe, to think, to figure out what comes next. He never expected Harper, a woman who challenges him, understands him, and sparks something in him he can’t quite name.

What begins as a lighthearted connection quickly becomes something more, something neither of them can afford to want. Because when the cruise ends, real life will be waiting. Harper has a career to rebuild. Aidan has responsibilities he can’t walk away from. And yet, with each stolen moment and unguarded glance, the question looms larger—are they simply two people passing through each other’s lives, or is this the start of something neither of them was ready for?
