Ship Wrecked

In the finale to Dade’s “Spoiler Alert” series (following All the Feels)—a sexy, funny, heartwarming enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance—Peter has finally gotten his big break. He’s been cast in a TV show in a role that could last for years. His character is shipwrecked on a windswept Irish island with only one other person, played by Maria, the sexy Swedish one-night stand who left his bed without leaving him a note. Over the next six years, Peter and Maria become friends, and outgoing, kind Maria pulls the recalcitrant, lonely Peter into a new found family with the quirky crew. But for the sake of his career (a bad breakup would be hell in their situation), Peter keeps their relationship as friends only. No benefits. He doesn’t even touch Maria unless it’s called for in the script. Six years of building sexual tension. Finally, the show is canceled and so is their restraint. The story pulls readers in with well-developed, likable characters, and an unputdownable plot. Themes of standing up for yourself, self-care, and body acceptance run throughout, creating deeper subtext to character actions.
