They have some history…but do they have a future? Karen Worthy’s world is about freedom and the future. She writes the computer code and runs the programs that keep Coastal Cruise Line ships afloat. Setting her own schedule and hopping aboard ships whenever she chooses is the perfect life. However, her cruise aboard the Grand Islander brings her face to face with someone who lives for the past and the ordered academic world. Professor Perry Lamb is thrilled to be the onboard historian for the Grand Islander’s summer history cruise. There’s nothing he loves more than sharing his love of history with interested people who share his passion, but he vividly remembers Karen Worthy, the undergrad who was unimpressed by his knowledge of the past. As he cruises historic sites along the Eastern Coast of the United States, he needs technical help with a project crucial to his college tenure, and the only person who can help him is Karen Worthy. Only five years separate Karen and Perry’s ages, but they are centuries apart at the beginning of the cruise. Will a romantic trip through the past show them the way to their future? They claimed the sunset as theirs… Hudson Gilbert keeps the luxurious Grand Islander sailing smoothly. He oversees the intricate workings of the engine room and gets called on to make shipboard repairs, but he’s kept his heart free ever since he learned the hard way several years earlier that shipboard romances aren’t always what they seem. The only reprieve in his busy day is watching the sunset on the ship’s stern. He’s been sharing his nightly ritual with Jane, a hair stylist employed onboard the ship, for the past few months. They chat about their days onboard and their favorite baseball teams, but they’re just friends…he thinks. Jane Allen falls for Hudson at first sight. She’d planned to use her six-month contract working in the ship’s salon to figure out what’s next in her life, but meeting Hudson changes everything. She’s tempted to take a chance and tell him how she feels, but she’d risk every friendly sunset if he doesn’t feel the same way. Being an employee of the company Hudson partially owns also complicates their relationship, and Jane has to juggle what she wants with what her future could hold. As the Grand Islander navigates the waters of the Atlantic, will Hudson and Jane find a way to make the sunsets last?
