Finding true love is never smooth sailing—but if you want it, sometimes you have to let the wind take you into uncharted waters . . .

May Starling's had enough of her demanding career and even more demanding ex, so she goes where everyone goes to get away from everything—to the sea.

Bill warns her that close-quartered living can create friction between crewmembers. But May can't help but be surprised by the heat rising between them inside the vintage wooden boat. And when they tie up at their destination, May is determined to test her newfound feelings for Bill on dry land.

But May's dream of escaping her former life is in danger of being swept away when several unwelcome blasts from the past land on shore—all seemingly hell-bent on reminding her it's never that easy to clear the decks . . .
