___________________________
Roslyn and Liam are the perfect couple. Through every up and down, every milestone - from Liam's residency to the publication of Roslyn's debut romance - they've been each other's rock. Until now.
Nine years in, and blindsided by the untimely death of Roslyn's mom, they're now navigating the final wave in their marriage: divorce.
Heartbroken and unsure how to tell her family, Roslyn keeps the impending split to herself. But when her grandparents ask if Liam can officiate their vow renewal ceremony aboard a Hawaiian cruise during their annual family holiday, Roslyn needs to tell the truth or figure out a way to keep her secret.
A week trapped at sea with her ex isn't ideal, but neither Roslyn nor Liam want to rock the boat, so they concoct a plan - they'll fake it. After five years of marriage, it can't be that hard to pretend, right?
But with reality and make believe starting to blur, and old feelings beginning to resurface that can't be ignored, Roslyn and Liam must decide whether it's sink or swim for their marriage.
🏝️ This escapist and heartwarming second-chance romance, by the author of Wedding Dashers, is for fans of Cara Bastone, Emily Henry, BK Borison and Abby Jimenez. 🏝️

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McBreen's emotional sophomore novel (after Wedding Dashers) centers a marriage on the rocks. Roslyn has had difficulty coping with the death of her mother, a struggle which eventually leads to her asking Liam, her husband of nine years, for a divorce, which she hides from her family. Then her grandparents ask Liam to officiate their vow renewal during a Hawaiian cruise. Fearing their reaction to news of the split, especially given her grandfather's disappointment when she dropped out of medical school to embark on a now-faltering writing career, Roslyn asks Liam to pretend they're still happily married for the duration of the week-long vacation. Trapped together in tight quarters, the two confront the misunderstandings that led to their breakup—and indulge in some sizzling sex. Mutual revelations and reignited lust give them both cautious hope they can salvage their marriage—if fear, lies, and family obligations don't get in the way. McBreen dives into the complexity of long-term relationships to deliver a roller coaster of a second-chance romance full of believable external pressure and swoon-worthy moments. This charms.
