Mackenzie Laurel is done with rotten lemons. Especially the guy kind. With no relationship, no job, and nowhere to live, Mac's leaving reality behind to go on a luxury cruise. Sun. Sand. Ocean breezes. Heaven. Of course, a little fun in the sun wouldn't hurt. And a certain green-eyed passenger might just be the thirst-quenching lemonade she needs...

Cole Matterhorn isn't a relationship guy. Hell, he can barely commit to leftovers. Yet the second he meets Mac, there's sparks-the kind that could mean some delicious distraction. Distraction that Cole desperately needs to escape from his work problems and the event that imploded any chance of his having a normal life.

Mac and Cole have more in common than just chemistry. She's hard of hearing and knows a little something about not always fitting in-and that his prosthetic does not define him. For 9 days they're both having the time of their lives, whether it's their failed trivia attempts, heating things up on a Caribbean beach, or even a sexy karaoke serenade.

Now it's only a matter of time before they hit the shore-and reality.
