When Christopher's fast-paced New York career crumbles after a devastating loss, he books a Christmas escape to the quiet shores of St. John. He's used to winning, but this time he feels like he's lost everything.
Maren has never left the Virgin Islands. As a property manager, she spends her days greeting tourists, showing them their rentals, and making sure their stay begins smoothly. To her, it's just a job-until the day Christopher steps off the ferry and takes her breath away.
Neither expects their paths to keep crossing, but the island has its own way of weaving people together. From starlit beaches to a Christmas Eve party where they share more than laughter, their connection deepens into something undeniable.
But Christopher is due to return to New York on New Year's Day, and when he asks Maren to leave everything behind for him, she's torn between the only home she's ever known and the man who's changing her heart.
Sometimes love is unexpected. Sometimes it's impossible to walk away.
And sometimes... the ferry doesn't just take you to an island-it takes you to forever.
