Vanessa
I've finally landed my dream job, and I intend to celebrate that before I ship out tomorrow. When I meet the handsome Ian at the hotel bar, a night of passion turns into something unexpected. I shouldn't let myself catch feelings. However Ian and I click so well, he leaves his mark on me. Unfortunately, I'm so caught up in our short time together that I make a series of life-changing mistakes, and no way to reach him. I may be the organized chief stew on the outside, but inside, I'm an absolute mess.
Ian
I don't do one-night stands. After the most incredible night of my life with Vanessa, I want more. I want every night to be with her and nobody else. Unfortunately, a family emergency pulls me back home to the States, and I have no way to reach Vanessa on the yacht where she works. That is, until a dubious opportunity falls in my lap that helps me to track her down. I don't care who I have to pay, I have to find her. Once I have her back in my arms, though, something feels off. There's something distant about her, and I aim to find out what's going on. We are meant to be together and there won't be any distance, any secrets, or any barrier between us ever again.
