Floating Into Love

Wanda Irwin is too busy with her thriving greenhouse and plant rental company to attend a mandatory team training exercise. Unfortunately, Varner industries requires it to renew her contract. The only upside is that it is canoeing and she's an expert. The downside? Her partner is the CEO.

Eric Varner is the CEO; nobody tells him what to do except his mother and she's insisting he get out in the sun by taking part in a company-wide ten-day canoe trip. He's hoping the trip is trouble free, because he knows nothing about canoeing. He isn't planning on having fun, and he sure isn't counting on Wanda's dynamic personality.

When they end up stranded on the side of the river with no help in sight, can they work together to survive? 

One country. Endless wrong turns. All the right reasons to fall in love.

But between roadside donut stops, wild travel companions, and unexpected sparks, they just might find that love has a funny way of showing up—especially when you're lost.
