A week on a tropical gay cruise is just what Lee needs after a bad breakup and a Canadian winter. It's a shame his ex is on board, but Lee is sharing a cabin with Cole, a hot lawyer who — as luck would have it — is actually from Lee's city. So when Cole unexpectedly awakens Lee's kinky side, Lee begins to dream that they can actually take their shipboard romance home with them.

But Cole is keeping secrets involving a troubled young man on board the ship. And Lee, after his recent brush with betrayal, finds it difficult to trust Cole when he says Justin isn't a rival.

Then he learns the truth and is also drawn into the tragic story. His dream vacation is in danger of turning dark, but he's determined to navigate Cole and himself to a safe harbor before their blisteringly hot romance is lost at sea.
