Book excerpt: A reporter running from love. A cruise ship director longing for home. Can a Christmas miracle help them build a relationship before the ship docks for the last time? Natalie James will do anything to land a journalist job with her favorite travel magazine—even report on Toujour’s first ever singles cruise the week before Christmas. After a string of one-sided relationships, she's ready for the escape of vacationing around the globe. Even if that means watching professional matchmakers help naïve couples fall in love on a special holiday trip. Shawn Erickson has spent a decade wasting away as a specialty cruise director while coming to terms with the accident that cost him his military ambitions. But now he has a new dream—to open his own travel agency with the bonus he’ll get from hosting Toujour. More than anything, he craves a family of his own to make Christmas memories with and the stability of a permanent home. When Natalie crashes into Shawn in the buffet line, their spark of attraction is undeniable. But as the cruise draws to a close, their tangled emotions reveal hidden wounds. Can a Christmas miracle help them build a real relationship before the ship docks for the last time?
