One ship. Two rival event planners. One tiny bed. And absolutely no chance of keeping things professional.

Julian Hayes has a plan for everything. Every schedule, every contingency, every possible disaster.

Chloe Ramirez has a different philosophy: when the plan falls apart, make something better.

As rival event planners, Julian and Chloe have spent years proving they work better apart. But when a billionaire tech CEO forces them to co-direct the most demanding corporate retreat of their careers, they have no choice but to work together aboard a luxury cruise ship.

Then everything goes spectacularly wrong.

A last-minute party makeover. A missing keynote speaker. A tropical storm. A disastrous itinerary. And, thanks to a booking mistake, one windowless crew cabin with one very small bed.

Forced into closer quarters than either of them can handle, Julian's rigid perfectionism clashes with Chloe's beautifully chaotic brilliance. Their constant arguments become unexpected teamwork. Their teamwork becomes undeniable chemistry. And one stolen kiss turns their professional rivalry into a secret romance neither of them planned for.

But their nightmare client is watching.

With their businesses, reputations, and the entire corporate retreat hanging in the balance, Julian and Chloe must survive impossible demands, escalating disasters, corporate sabotage, and one particularly furious exotic bird.

Because the cruise was supposed to be a business trip.

Falling in love was never part of the itinerary.
