It’s not easy to change course on a cruise ship—even harder when you’re falling in love with the captainFiona:New job. New cruise ship. Fresh start.Should be simple to move on from the mess of my past, right?Where better to distract myself than learning the ropes aboard the Sargasso Star?Then Griffin in his spiffy officer’s whites messes everything up.Losing myself in his deep, smoky gray eyes is the wrong thing to do... moreIt’s not easy to change course on a cruise ship—even harder when you’re falling in love with the captainFiona:New job. New cruise ship. Fresh start.Should be simple to move on from the mess of my past, right?Where better to distract myself than learning the ropes aboard the Sargasso Star?Then Griffin in his spiffy officer’s whites messes everything up.Losing myself in his deep, smoky gray eyes is the wrong thing to do. But when he winks and grins, I know the attraction is mutual and nothing—not even a hurricane—can keep us apart.Griffin:It’s not often a gorgeous woman challenges me to a game of darts. Fiona—feisty and smart, witty and bold—more than holds her own at my favorite Caribbean pub. She’s plain impressive.Gorgeous.Who could blame a sailor for wanting more? No regrets, that’s how I like to live my life. No complications.So, how did a night of passion in port turn into such a complicated mess?Blame the gods of the sea.Or blame love. Destiny. Fate.Either way, Fiona is a catch I have no intention of letting go.NOTE: This Sabina Island Romance, whilst still sweet with the HEA we all love, is a little spicier than the others in the collection. No f-bombs, but we are dealing with a sailor here, so think character-appropriate language and more on-page passion than my usual (although anything beyond passionate kissing is still off-page)! If that's not your jam, then you may want to skip this one :) less
