One of PopSugar’s Best New Books of 2022!They have a second chance at love, but there are some rough seas ahead in the new contemporary romance from the acclaimed author of Love, Lists, and Fancy Ships. Commitment-phobe Nina Lejeune lives by two rules: 1. Always have fun. 2. Don’t rely on anyone but yourself. The first rule is easy; the second, she's only broken once. Ten years after fleeing home, Nina is the chief stewardess on the super yacht Serendipity, single by choice, and perfectly content with how life has turned out. But Nina’s ex-coworker and old flame, Irish chef Ollie Dunne, isn’t so happy with the status quo. One year after leaving yachting, he's returned as the Serendipity’s chef with an ultimatum: if Nina continues to deny she's in love with him by the end of this charter season, he'll go back to Ireland for good. Nina and Ollie's shared secret from their past threatens to shipwreck not only their relationship, but the entire boat. But as their connection grows amidst chaotic guests and crew drama, could there be smooth sailing in their future?

"I read this on a yacht, and Oh my god, I love it. Hot Irish chef. Friends to lovers. Real life ****. Amazing. Read it. "

"I loved the first book in the series, but I found this female lead so annoying. "

"3.5/5 ⭐️ I loved this author’s previous installment in this series, and this was another great one! This one leaned more romance heavy than women’s fiction in my opinion. I honestly don’t even know if I can explain this relationship with tropes, but this story was the culmination of a 10 year situationship. The characters were each working through their own things (and had their frustrating moments), but throughout the story you could feel their love for each other. I so empathized with each of the leads in this story even if I occasionally wanted to knock some sense into them. I also liked the way the conflict in the story eventually manifested and was addressed (even if I did want some more time fleshing that out). I think I connected with the last book a little bit more, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one in a different way. I can’t wait to read this author’s new one!"
