Madelyn has one job on this cruise: plan the perfect event and prove to her father-her boss-that she's capable. But when she forgets to book a band, everything spirals. That's when she meets him-a charming yet passionate musician who offers to save the night.
He's here to chase his dream, to make his family proud, to escape their endless money struggles. She's here to win her father's approval, even if it means staying in a loveless past.
But as their worlds collide, feelings grow-ones Madelyn refuses to accept. She's been hurt before. Love is a risk she won't take. Especially when her father wants her to be with someone else.
Yet the closer she gets to him, the more she wonders: Is she really chasing success? Or is she running from something much deeper?
A story of love, ambition, and finding your own path-even in the middle of the ocean.
