Am I famous? No.
But the gorgeous guy anchored next to me has seen all of the videos on my very niche sailing channel and he is star-struck.
I’m nursing my wounds from a bad divorce while sailing in the South Pacific. Jonas’s insistence that I join in his fun reignites my love for the islands and this wild, crazy life.

Jonas asks me for a commitment I’m not ready to make. I have to decide: am I ready to trust myself?
