Given her impressive ability to navigate devastating loss and create a better-than-average life, Sara Braxton is stumped. When it comes to love, why does she keep finding Mr. Wrong instead of Mr. Right? After being burned to within an ash of her life by love-gone-bad, Sara doesn't trust her own judgment. Just because a guy looks good on paper, past history tells her he's probably not what he appears to be.

Now on an extended cruise for her best friend's birthday celebration, Sara is guarded against repeating past mistakes in the man department. Especially a man like Carlo Manetti, the Staff Captain of the cruise ship. Italian hot and always in command, he's trouble with a capital T. Too bad Sara's body keeps ignoring her 'off limits' memo as she plunges full steam ahead into love.
