    I’m my own woman, and I know just how I’m going to prove it. I went through six years of college to earn my master’s in business to please him, while I wanted a degree in interior design, so I worked my tush off and received my bachelor’s in that too. Now that I’m twenty-four, I’m going to do a one-eighty in my life and take a job I never saw myself doing, just to please me. It really can’t be too hard to serve food to people, make beds, and use a feather duster…can it? I’ll be sailing away and forgetting all my worries. Or so I think, until I look up to see the sexy captain, with his white hat on, step in front of me and I meet Reed Nichols. Growing up while traveling the open seas made my decision to take over the family business the easiest one I’ve ever had to make. After four years in college taking accounting classes, I went after my true dream…a captain’s license. I always knew I’d follow in my father’s footsteps; I just didn’t think it’d be this soon. Right before he passed, he asked me to do just that and I’ve never looked back. Right now, my life is perfect, just the way I want it. I run the company my father founded and drive a million-dollar yacht every day. I pick and choose who lies in my bed, and I’ve never allowed anyone there for more than a night or two. No one has ever kept my attention any longer than that. Then I look down to see the long legs of a cabin stewardess walking toward my boat and I meet Maci Foster.

     Nothing I say or do is real anymore. And I get paid for it. My whole life has been lived behind the bright lights of Hollywood. And I’m living proof that money can’t buy love.

Poverty has made her tough, but she’s in for the ride of her life if she thinks she’s got this gig in the bag. I’ll play the part I’ve been handed and love her like a madman on screen, but when the lights dim? No thanks. I’m not interested. No matter how badly my heart aches when she walks in the room. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, you never let them see behind the curtain. Especially if you love them.
