It's never too late to find love on the high seas.
As a 72-year-old author of more than thirty successful romance novels, Kate Caldwell had all but given up on finding her perfect love connection and spends her time writing or with her granddaughter to offset her loneliness. While the first two books of her newest Passion series had been best-sellers, partly because of the help of her secret collaborator, Captain Edward Peregrine, Kate finds herself stuck in a creative slump when it comes time to start her newest book.
With mounting pressure from her publisher to write spicier romances and with Edward nowhere to be found for her, a frustrated, Kate and her granddaughter Ellie embark on a two-week cruise to the Panama Canal in hopes of conquering her writer's block.

As Edward returns to Kate aboard the cruise, she begins work on her next novel—just as she catches the eye of two intriguing passengers. Both men offer her the kind of romance she's long dreamed of, but stormy seas lie ahead. Kate soon finds herself swept into the adventure of a lifetime—one that traverses a time continuum and exposes the deep conflict between desire and tranquility. The journey could upend everything she knows ... or lead her to true love.
