Lights, camera… disaster. Stuck filming a reality dating show on a cruise ship, a jaded camera operator finds herself clashing with a villainous cast member from her past and falling for the ship’s super-dreamy chef in this sparkling debut rom-com.

Chloe Hill had a plan. By thirty, she was supposed to be a respected documentarian—not filming a trashy reality dating show on a Mediterranean mega-cruise. But desperate times, and all that…

Her goal is simple: lay low, get paid, go home.

Then in walks Molly Spencer—the show’s new on-screen villain… and the ex–best friend whose betrayal in college nearly sank Chloe’s career before it even set sail.

Determined not to rock the boat, Chloe finds an unexpected escape in Nolan Braddock, the ship’s charming and upbeat executive chef, whose uninhibited outlook on life is starting to make her forget why she’s been angry for so long.

But reality TV loves drama—and so does Molly. As tensions rise and old wounds resurface, Chloe finds herself caught between the life she’s been dreaming of, the past she never really moved on from, and a future she didn’t see coming.

Cruising is the first standalone novel in the Love at First Sail universe—perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Ali Hazelwood, and Meghan Quinn. Expect laugh-out-loud banter, found family, second-chance friendship, grumpy–sunshine romance, and a heroine finally learning to chart her own course.
