I would say that Dr. Cruz Costello is my nemesis. But that would require acknowledging each other, something we haven't done in over a decade. He is the city's golden child. Beloved quarterback turned doctor. I'm a girl who got pregnant at sixteen and now works at a diner. He is a member of the Fairhope royal family. I get my dose of criticism from tabloid gossip. He is well off. I'm... well, not well off.

When our siblings get engaged, Cruise's parents invite both families on a pre-wedding cruise. Except that Cruise and I are stuck on another ship. Ten terrible, unbearable days at sea with a man I can't stand. (My fault, of course.) But when the alcohol flows, the secrets spill out, and I'm left with one question: Can I take another chance on love?
