A tense, forced-proximity romance where the inescapable confines of a ship force two estranged lovers to confront the fiery passion they thought they had left behind.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping into a pressure cooker of unresolved tension and inescapable chemistry. The narrative thrives on the claustrophobic atmosphere of a forced-proximity setting, where every glance across a crowded deck crackles with past bitterness and reignited passion. The prose is emotionally direct and highly dramatic, plunging the reader straight into the raw, unhealed wounds of a love that ended in stubborn anger. It moves at a brisk, emotionally charged pace, driven not by external action but by the internal battle between fear and desire. This is a perfect read for those who devour high-angst, second-chance romances, offering a deeply earnest exploration of finding the courage to stop running and face a once-in-a-lifetime love.

About the book
Alys had run away, raw and devastated, from Titus Irvine and the love that had fallen victim to stubborn, uncompromising anger. Time had clone little to heal the wounds.
Now, the cruise ship they were coincidentally both aboard seemed smaller every time their eyes met in naked confrontation --- putting an instant torch to a fire that had never really died. Alys knew she had to stop running --- from the pain, the bitterness and the fears born of past mistakes. But was she strong enough to give the love of a lifetime a second chance?
