Katie Kim has her life on track. She’s just been promoted, she has a sweet new boyfriend, and she’s finally recovered from the heartbreak of her past. All is well until the day Tyler June walks into her office; he’s her new intern, and he’s also her ex-fiancé. To make matters worse, Katie hasn’t seen Tyler since she caused the car accident that stole his memory five years ago, and his parents pushed her out of his life.

Margaret Dashwood lives her life according to plan, and it involves absolutely zero heartbreak, thank you very much. Five years ago, love tore her family apart, and since then, she’s kept her own heart as safe as possible.

So when their oldest sister, Elinor, invites Margaret along for a Marianne-free summer cruise, she can’t wait to soak up every scheduled moment with sensible Elinor before heading off to college.

At first, it seems like they have nothing in common—not even whether or not they want to be rescued. But the arrival of a pirate ship brings them to the realization that they do have a shared purpose: peace.
