They went on a cruise as coworkers.
They came back as something neither of them can explain.
Leah Anderson has rules. Keep work professional, keep her heart protected, and absolutely never fall for her charming, smug, maddeningly attractive coworker, Jake Parker. But when a company cruise puts them side by side for a week-sharing dinners, inside jokes, and late-night conversations under the stars-those rules get harder to remember.
They both agreed it was a vacation thing. A heat-of-the-moment, caught-up-in-the-sunset kind of mistake. Back at the office, they're supposed to be back to normal. Just coworkers. Just friends.
But being just friends gets complicated fast-especially when they're assigned to a new project together and fall back into their effortless rhythm. The spark's still there. So is the banter. And both of them are starting to realize that what they left on the ship wasn't over-it never really ended at all.
As their connection deepens and the line between friendship and something more disappears, Leah has to ask herself: is she willing to risk everything for the one person she never saw coming?
Because what started as just friends might be the most real thing she's ever felt.
