Marianne thought the past was behind her. In college, her fiancé shattered her world with a cruel confession that their relationship had been nothing more than a bet, a way to break the heart of the “poor fat girl.” The betrayal left her raw, determined never to give anyone the power to hurt her again.

Five years later, life throws her into the same storm. A luxury ocean liner, miles from shore, and a chance encounter put her face-to-face with the man who once crushed her trust. But he isn’t alone. At his side is another man magnetic, self-assured, and impossible to ignore.

As old wounds resurface and attraction sparks in unexpected places, Marianne is pulled into dangerous waters. Resentment collides with desire, and the more she tries to resist, the stronger the pull becomes. Two men, one unforgettable voyage, and a choice that could change her forever.

Will Marianne risk her heart again at sea, or let the past sink her future?
