Two strangers find themselves stranded at sea together in this epic new love story by bestselling author Beth O’Leary.
What if you were lost at sea…with your one-night stand?
Zeke and Lexi thought it would just be a night of fun. They had no intentions of seeing each other again. Zeke is only in town for the weekend to buy back his late father’s houseboat. Lexi has no time for dating when she needs to help take care of her best friend’s daughter.
Going back home with a stranger seems like a perfect escape from their problems. But a miscommunication in the dark, foggy night means no one tied the houseboat to the dock. The next morning, Zeke and Lexi realize all they can see is miles and miles of water.
With just a few provisions on the idle boat, Zeke and Lexi must figure out how to get back home. But aside from their survival, they’re facing another challenge. Because when you’re stuck together for days on end, it gives you a lot of time to get to know someone—and to fall in love with them.

Lexi has put her personal life on hold so that she be there to support her best friend Penny and her daughter and she has never regretted that decision. When she is convinced to approach a sexy younger man at the bar where she works she expects to have one enjoyable night with him, and they would go their separate ways not be stranded with him for nearly two weeks.
Zeke is single and intends to stay that way. The reasons that brought him to town are taking an emotional toll so the opportunity to forget in the arms of a beautiful woman seems like the perfect solution. The next morning brings a surprise that neither saw coming when they find themselves stranded in the middle of the ocean and must work together to find a way back. Even though their experience together at times was tumultuous and at times humorous I enjoyed seeing these two strangers let each other into their hearts as they found a love that neither was prepared for along with some surprises along the way.
