He chose her over the company. He’s about to find out the real cost of romance….

The challenges of working and living aboard a cruise ship have turned David’s world upside-down, becoming so outrageous he wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry, had he the time for either. But he is sustained through the craziness by his globe-spanning love affair with Romina.

David would walk the plank if it plucked Romina from her awful bottom-of-the-boat job. But knowing that their only way out of the hellish working conditions is to beat ships at their own game, he bids her adieu to learn the competitive trade of art auctioneering at sea. And though he takes his fair share of hard knocks, he’s finally hitting the big time.

Becoming a master auctioneer, he lives like a cigar-smoking king aboard elite luxury liners with access to anything he wants. But when he returns victorious to whisk his love away to better things, Romina mysteriously refuses. And he worries that, in chasing his ambitions—regardless of good intentions—he may have lost her forever…

Can David persuade Romina that the world is their oyster, or will she push his grand vision overboard?
