Her dream vacation just became her worst nightmare.

Baker Rosa Nichols is burnt out. After years of struggling to keep Sweet Beginnings afloat, she’s finally taking a break: fourteen glorious days on the Silver Bell Christmas cruise. No early mornings, no demanding customers, and definitely no baking. Just her, the ocean, and the luxurious Mistletoe Suite she scrimped and saved to afford.

He’s the only man she never wanted to see again.

Nolan Prescott is the reason Rosa’s bakery nearly went under. Three years ago, the polished, high-profile food critic wrote a scathing review that decimated her business. He’s the last person she expects to find standing in her stateroom, wearing nothing but a towel and a confused expression.

One suite. One bed. Two enemies trapped at sea.

Thanks to a booking glitch, the ship is full, and neither is willing to give up the suite. Now, Rosa is stuck sharing her sanctuary with the man who ruined her life. But as they navigate a truce involving a lumpy pull-out couch and a gingerbread house competition, Rosa discovers that the cold, unfeeling critic might be hiding a heart beneath his starch-stiff exterior.

Nolan has regretted his cruelty for years, fueling a guilt he can’t escape. Trapped with the woman he wronged, he finally has a chance to make things right. But can he convince Rosa that he’s changed, or will the ghosts of the past—and a secret grief he’s never shared—sink their chance at love before they return to shore?

Escape to the Silver Bell this holiday season for a heartwarming story of forgiveness, second chances, and the sweetness of love found in the most unlikely tides
