Pretending to date isn't as easy as it sounds.

Belle Evans has won a cruise at just the right time. But when her ex-fiancé shows up on the same ship with his new love, she can't let him think she's a loser. Good thing her cute neighbor in the suite next to hers was hanging around. When Tristan Stone inherits his grandmother's cruise line, he thinks it the perfect opportunity to be a regular guy—all while checking out his new business. A relationship wasn't even on the horizon until Belle Evans blurts out he's her boyfriend.

A girl afraid of getting her heart broken, a guy trying to keep his identity a secret, and nine days at sea.

No way at all this could backfire . . .

She wants a break. He wants to remain in disguise. When they're forced together, it's not long before lines blur.
