  Britt Belladonna, a workaholic employed at a cruise company, is sent on a rival company's cruise to dig up dirt on the competition. It seems like an easy enough assignment: go on the cruise, figure out why this company is drawing in more customers than the cruise line she works for, and create an amazing report that will earn her a promotion.
  While on the cruise, however, she learns it's for singles and everyone on board is looking for love. As a single businesswoman, she has no desire to engage in any romantic endeavors. But her roommate Jamie Lyonne, a total slacker Britt had the displeasure of meeting in college, has a different idea. Jamie wants to experience everything the cruise has to offer, and drags Britt through all the different excursions. Water parks, ziplining, snorkeling ... Jamie wants to do everything, and Britt goes along with it under the guise of secret research. 
  Soon the lines blur between what's strictly business and what's for pleasure. Jamie's bright personality starts to melt Britt's walls, and Britt begins to fall for her frustratingly easygoing roommate. Is it worth it for Britt to turn away from everything she's ever known and take a chance with Jamie? Or should she continue her workaholic ways and let her feelings for Jamie fall by the wayside?

  Vince Castro is everything I shouldn't want—my financial advisor, supposedly straight, and the son of Ohio's most powerful senator who's running for president on a "traditional family values" platform. 
   
  But every meeting feels charged. Every professional handshake lasts too long. And the way he looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching? Sure doesn't scream "I'm straight." 
   
  I'm Gabe Kelly, openly gay NFL player, and I've never been confused about attraction before. But Vince drops mentions of his girlfriend into conversation like breadcrumbs, casual reminders that he's supposedly taken. So why does every conversation feel like he's undressing me with his eyes? 
   
  When I finally corner him about the tension between us, the truth explodes. The girlfriend he casually mentions? They broke up months ago. He's been lying about still being with her to maintain his cover, even though she's desperate to get back together. 
   
  Vince has been living a lie so long he's forgotten what the truth feels like. But when his father's campaign heats up and his ex starts pushing for a reunion—complete with public appearances that would cement his "straight" image—our secret relationship becomes a weapon that could destroy everything. 
   
  I thought coming out was hard. Loving a man who can't afford to exist might be impossible.
