Welcome aboard the Maiden Voyage, where the all-female crew navigates more than just turbulent waters. This series of novellas follows the romantic adventures of these queer women, where every charter brings new possibilities. First mate Zoe Freeman has her sights set on one earning her captain's license aboard the luxury yacht Maiden Voyage. The last thing she needs is drama from entitled charter guests—especially when one of those guests is Stormy Clarke, the woman who made her high school years a nightmare. Stormy is reluctantly aboard her sister's bachelorette charter, watching Vanessa's wedding plans spiral while nursing her own regrets. She never imagined she'd face the girl she once tormented, now a confident woman commanding respect on the open seas. As the Caribbean charter turns turbulent, old wounds surface alongside long-forgotten feelings and Zoe's professional boundaries blur when Stormy's genuine remorse awakens emotions she thought she’d buried. Between a bridezilla's catastrophic meltdowns and unpredictable weather, Zoe and Stormy must navigate the treacherous waters between their painful past and an uncertain future. Some storms are worth weathering—if you're brave enough to let love chart the course. Stormy Waters is an enemies-to-lovers romance about forgiveness, second chances, and finding your true north.
