Description:

He’s all rules and routine. She’s all heart and hustle. But when fake dating sets sail… love might just rock the boat. ✨

Opera singer, plus-size model, and part-time barista Corinne Tanoa isn’t interested in happily-ever-afters. She’s had her share of disastrous dates, and the last thing she needs is her meddling aunt pushing marriage and babies. Her plan? Focus on singing, sip good coffee, and maybe spice up her Fandom account with a cheeky boudoir shoot or two.

Then Luke Bailie walks into her café—reserved, rumpled, and ridiculously attractive. The British sailing coach with a tragic past and a teenage daughter isn’t looking for love either. But when a mutual need for publicity—and a little family pressure—calls for a fake relationship, sparks fly faster than a racing yacht.

What starts as a strategic arrangement soon deepens: moonlit kisses in Paris, whirlwind dates in Auckland, and heart-racing danger that brings them closer than either expected. But as careers collide, old wounds reopen, and doubts creep in, Corinne and Luke must decide if their love is just temporary—or the real deal worth chasing.

💖 Perfect for fans of slow burn, found family, fake dating, and fierce heroines with big dreams and even bigger hearts.

🌊 Set against the backdrop of New Zealand’s sailing scene—with a detour to Paris and a dash of suspense—this romance will sweep you off your feet.
