"Juniper, the love I have for you matches the way the sun reflects against the water. The sparkle against the wave as you look at me in my face, but please tell me, why isn't the wave taking me away?" Indie looks down at her feet as a tear runs down her cheek. She is heart broken but in love. She wants to tear Junipers clothes off like the nights before but she also wants to scream, run away, and never look back. "Tell me now, will I ever see you again?"
When one girl falls in love with another.
Juniper doesn't do relationships. She doesn't fall in love after a night of sex and she most definitely doesn't get attached. But what happens when a beautiful, free spirited girl comes along that makes her feel things she never thought she could? What happens when she is finally smiling more than she is frowning? Is this a dream or a nightmare?
A cruise ship around the world will change their lives. A story about passion, confusion, twists, adventure, confessions, and love. And just remember, not everything is what it seems on Hello, Darling.

Perfection is a performance. Feeling is the flaw in the script.
Juniper has not only survived the first phase of the Marriage Process- barley- she somehow managed to be in the top three contestants meaning she has to stay. Much to the disappointment to everyone involved. Now she's expected to spend who knows how long with three bachelors who clearly want nothing to do with her-and in some cases, would rather see her disappear entirely.
But as the season drags on, cracks begin to form in their carefully constructed lives. Behind every cold glare and forced smile is a story no one dares to speak aloud, especially not to the unwanted bride they are forced to spend time with. And when masks begin to slip, so do the boundaries between them.
Juniper never expected to find connection.
They never expected to care.
But in a world built on control and illusion, can something real survive?
