Publisher Description

An impulsive decision to join an Alaskan cruise getaway brings the chance for an onboard romance in this new enemies-to-lovers romance. Jasmine Randhawa likes everyone to think she has it all—great job, perfect Seattle apartment, and a handsome boyfriend. But she's not as confident or successful as she seems, and her relationship is at a breaking point.

When Jasmine finds herself single and tagging along on her parents' vacation, she's not sure her life can get any farther off course. It's a nightmare for someone who's been so fiercely independent to find herself on a cruise full of family friends who've judged her since childhood. Things only get worse once the ship leaves the harbor and she realizes that this is a seniors' cruise, and the only other person under fifty on the entire boat is her childhood acquaintance, cocky and successful Jake Dhillon.

Jasmine and Jake clash right away, with Jasmine smarting over how their South Asian community puts him on a pedestal as the perfect Indian son, whereas her reputation as a troublemaker precedes her. Except they can't avoid each other forever during the ten-day cruise, and they soon recognize a surprising number of similarities, especially in how many secrets they're keeping hidden from their families. Their restlessness seems to disappear whenever they're together, but is this relationship strong enough to last on land?
