About this ebook
When a bride-to-be suddenly upends her life, a floating hotel offer the perfectly imperfect escape in this "charming and captivating romantic summer read" ( Library Journal).
Julia Fairfax isn't quite herself today. It's not like her to quit her job just because she was passed over for a promotion. Or to call off her engagement just because her fiancé is a bore. And it's certainly not like her to pack her bags, sublet her house, board a rattletrap hotel boat, and pass herself off as a gourmet cook. It's just not like Julia to be so recklessly—and delightfully—in control. And she's loving every minute of it . . .
But Julia's new life soon gets anchored with familiar baggage—like an old boyfriend, a meddling mother, and a spurned fiancé—all bursting with unsolicited advice. Now, Julia's got a surprise in store for all of them. Somewhere between dry-dock and a bargeful of hot-tempered tourists, between old friends and new lovers, she's determined to turn a season adrift into the summer of a lifetime . . .
