Selten legt es sogar an. Und auf diesem besagten Schiff zu landen, ist definitiv nicht Tavias Plan. Denn die Gerüchte, die über die Männer an Deck erzählt werden, sind Grund genug, einen großen Bogen um das Schiff zu machen. Tavias Bogen ist anscheinend etwas zu klein gewesen. Denn nun muss sie sich nicht nur als einzige Frau an Deck beweisen, sondern sieht sich auch einem Mann gegenübergestellt, der mehr Fragen aufwirft, als er Antworten gibt. Um diese zu finden, muss Tavia in ihrer Vergangenheit suchen ... und die kann man bekanntlich nicht ändern - so sehr man es sich manchmal auch wünscht. *** Cover by: @AnnieRosebud ♥

She's a heartbroken photographer with nowhere else to go. And they were never supposed to fall in love.
