This steamy workplace romance story is full of white-hot passion: drunken Vegas hookups, heated glances between a boss and his sexy employee, and a love that blooms in the most unexpected place…
A few do’s and don’t for when you take a summer internship on a yacht:
Do pack your medical supply bag (duh, you’re supposed to be the ship’s medic).
Don’t mingle with the ultra rich passengers who’ve … ultra rich passengers who’ve booked the boat.
And definitely don’t hook up with the brooding, hot as hell captain.
Not even when the way he looks at you is intense enough to set you on fire.
As you travel up the Alaskan coast, the tight quarters may seem smothering.
Here is a tip: let the captain keep his secrets, just like you will keep yours.
Sure, the first time he breaks down and kisses you may throw a wrench in things.
And yes, you will end of naked and calling out his name on a few occasions.
But don’t start softening towards the big, angry man in charge.
And whatever you do, don’t you dare begin to fall in love with him…
Get ready for Gabriel and Luna to take your breath away!

Just because this is a boss/employee romance, don’t let that fool you, because this one has a fresh premise. Med school graduate, Luna Leone, takes a summer internship on a cruising yacht in hopes of getting a prime residency placement in the fall.
Captain Gabe Smith has a few goals. Mourn his fiancée for a year after her death, get past her betrayal, lies and secrets, and win the regatta to give his family’s yacht tour company a much needed cash infusion. Aside from a Vegas one-night stand three months ago, women aren’t on his radar. That is, until his ship’s new medic turns out to be the girl from his one-night stand.
If you’ve read this author recently, you may remember Luna as Luca’s sister and Cate’s BFF. Luna is wealthy, affluent and beautiful, but she’s also strong-willed, determined, and a hard worker. She’s been hurt in the past and had her dreams for the future dented, but she’s focusing on her friends and her career.
Gabe was devastated when his fiancée died. Her lies and secrets that he discovered after her death have really done a number on him. Yet he’s still determined to mourn her for a year, no matter how appealing Luna is or how much chemistry they share. But if we’ve learned nothing else from romance novels, we all know fate often has other ideas it puts into play while laughing at our own plans.
I adore these two together. Luna and Gabe seem like polar opposites, but they find out they have more in common than they thought, and their journey on the road to their HEA is the best kind of entertainment! The secondary characters are terrific, with Luna’s girl posse, Gabe’s colorful sister, and a bad guy you’ll love to hate. If you’re looking for a humorous, heartfelt, hot romance with a unique setting that will give you hours of enjoyment, you’ll love Luna and Gabe’s story!
Two worlds colliding… Wealth and middle class…
Two characters who are broken by their past … who have to accept the loss of a person respectively the loss of the possibility to choose their personal circumstances …
This discrepancy is explosive enough in itself …
Add to that a seriously scorching hot chemistry that makes lightning strikes seem like child’s play, and the fact that they know each other from the past, and you get the fulminant backdrop of this phenomenal book.
Luna and Gabriel are these two characters who struggle to regain their footing after fate has dealt them each a devastating blow …
Forced to work together by a further intervention of the traitorous goddess of fate, the two fight against their now more than ever forbidden attraction …
Ms. Wood knows, like almost no one else, how to emphasize the character traits of her protagonists to make them even more authentic and lovable with their little idiosyncrasies. The same applies to the plot line. She always finds that certain extra and that extra twist in her plot, that other writers sometimes miss, to make a story that has already been told in a hundred other versions stand out from the rest.
I loved this book so much. It is exciting, moving and entertaining, warm and relatable.
It’s unlike any other book I’ve ever read by Ms Wood before, a real page-turner that I highly recommend!
