Joan boards a seniors’ creative cruise with a painting she’s finally brave enough to show, two lifelong friends, and every intention of enjoying herself. Maggie plans to try everything. Ruth wants a comfortable deck chair and a good book. None of them planned on Grant.
Handsome, attentive, and remarkably smooth, he makes Joan feel noticed in a way she hadn’t realized she missed. But while his compliments come easily, his stories don’t always agree.

Between creative mishaps, questionable charm, and her friends’ affectionate interference, Joan begins to wonder whether the romance she wants might be waiting where she least thought to look.
