Summary

Trapped on a breath-taking Alaskan cruise together, these exes must decide whether to let go, or risk it all for a love that refuses to sink …

A year after their break-up, Owen thought he'd never see Jacob again – let alone spend a week trapped on a cruise ship with him.

Determined to protect his heart, Owen agrees to one thing: friendship. But the close quarters and breathtaking scenery make it impossible to ignore what they once had.

As the ship sails north through icy waters, will Owen keep his walls up, or risk everything for the one that got away?
