A sparkling romantic comedy about letting go of the plan and falling into something real. Sophie Blake isn’t looking for romance. She’s looking for an exit strategy—from her high-stress job, her controlling ex, and the perfectly planned life that suddenly feels all wrong. A week-long Mediterranean cruise with her best friends is exactly what she needs to reset. Jake Martinez wasn’t supposed to be here this long. Bartending on the Sapphire Voyager was meant to be temporary, but two years later, he’s still mixing cocktails and collecting passenger stories. It’s a good life—or so he thought, until Sophie orders “something strong” and turns his world upside down. From Rome to Santorini, one drink leads to another, and flirty banter turns into something deeper. But ship romances don’t come with a return policy—and with strict rules between crew and passengers, both Sophie and Jake have more than just hearts on the line. Can one drink spark a love strong enough to survive the real world? Filled with humor, heart, and just the right amount of heat, One Drink Away is a feel-good romance for anyone who’s ever needed a fresh start—and someone to make them believe in love again.
