A sapphic slow-burn romance set on the high seas An arrogant sailor who never sticks around. A guarded journalist who doesn’t trust the Navy.

One reckless night turns into months at sea… Royal Navy able rate River Dawson never drops anchor in the same harbor twice—especially when it comes to women.

With a reputation as the fleet’s heartbreaker, she lives for no-strings seductions and swift departures. But when her latest redheaded fling turns out to be the Admiral’s daughter—and her new crewmate aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth—River’s easy-come, easy-go lifestyle hits rough waters.

Cleo Carter has sworn off sailors. After years of watching duty outrank family—and suffering one heartbreak too many—she’s done with sea life. But when she’s assigned to cover her father’s ship, Cleo finds herself trapped on board with the one woman she should’ve left on shore.

As scandal brews and sparks ignite below deck, River and Cleo must decide if their chemistry is just a shipboard fling—or the start of something worth risking everything for.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn sapphic romance, forbidden love, and sharp banter.
