Mia Gregor’s life is simple: work hard, make money, and keep moving. When she lands a job as a maid on a high-end cruise ship, she figures it’s just another gig to pay the bills. What she doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face with Amir St. Patrick, a man whose privilege and arrogance are immediately infuriating to her. Amir sees Mia as an unrefined, uncultured woman with no real prospects—she’s just a maid to him, and nothing more. His dismissive attitude toward her and the way he carries himself makes Mia’s blood boil.
The feeling is mutual. Amir can’t stand Mia’s brash, unfiltered attitude and her complete lack of respect for him. He believes she’s crude and uneducated, someone who doesn’t know her place. To Amir, she represents everything he’s been taught to avoid—chaos, unpredictability, and a lack of decorum.
One night, after a heated confrontation, the two find themselves in a dangerous situation: they fall overboard. What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway for Amir turns into a nightmare when he and Mia are stranded on a remote, deserted island with no one around to help.
