Description
'Unique, sexy, hilarious, charming' ALI HAZELWOOD
'Unfailingly sweet and surprisingly sexy' JODI PICOULT
'A heartwarming rom-com brimming with smart, snappy dialogue, sizzling chemistry, and lovable side characters' AMY LEA
The perfect summer rom-com to escape with! When two ex-bandmates reunite to perform on a cruise ship, sparks fly!
Micah's relationship to music is... complicated. Her band took off after being featured on a teen TV show, but the group broke up in no small part thanks to Micah's ex, the band's guitarist. Having spent years of trying to make it solo, Micah is offered an opportunity to reunite with the band on a cruise and she reluctantly says yes, even though she'll have to face the ghosts of her past.
John has been in love with Micah since they were kids making music together, but never said anything for the sake of the band, her old relationship, and to preserve their friendship. A life away from music has made him miss the way his heart sang with hers, so he boards the cruise too.
Onboard, Micah can't help but see John with new eyes, and John's feelings only intensify. As the discordant band's tension grows to a breaking point and they'll have to decide if their relationship is more than a one-hit wonder.
