Kit O'Brien, New York's most notorious heiress, is famous for her outrageous antics and viral scandals. But when she dumps dog food on her father's godson (and her supposed fiancé) at a charity event, it's time to lay low. A cruise ship interview assignment seems like the perfect escape—until she discovers her subject is the infuriatingly handsome stranger she almost joined the mile-high club with on her flight there.

Joshua Parker wants nothing to do with the press. He's worked hard to keep his private life out of the tabloids while creating TV's hottest sci-fi show. The last thing he needs is an interview with a spoiled socialite who makes headlines wherever she goes. But he discovers that beneath Kit's wild-child reputation is a passionate woman yearning to break free from her father's expectations.

As their cruise ship romance heats up, Kit faces an impossible choice: write the career-making story her father demands, or protect the man who's captured her heart. But when their worlds collide and secrets emerge, they'll have to decide if their love is worth fighting for—or just another scandal waiting to happen.
