📚 Book 2 of a completed 2-book series
When Gina spots Jeffrey on a cruise ship, he's absolutely not her type—he's too old, too blond, and way too buttoned-up—but there's something about him that keeps pulling her back in despite her better judgment. Jeffrey, a grieving widower trying to navigate single parenthood with his two daughters watching his every move, knows Gina is trouble from the moment her sass and vulgarity hit him like a hurricane. What starts as a fiery, completely unlikely attraction becomes something neither of them saw coming, forcing both of them to question everything they thought they wanted. This sparkling romantic comedy proves that sometimes the person who drives you absolutely crazy is exactly the person you need.
Reading soundtrack
Sultry indie-pop and R&B with electric chemistry—think confident sass meeting restless desire. Blend witty, flirty energy (The 1975, SZA) with sensual slow-burns (Daniel Caesar, H.E.R.). Catchy hooks meet steamy tension. Contemporary romance that's playful yet undeniably magnetic.
