What if having an affair could actually save your marriage? For Mira and Anne, a chance encounter aboard a tropical cruise leads to more than a sexual awakening, it also provides the opportunity to discover what each of their marriages really need to survive. 

 

Anne Bartlett has everything any woman could want, a handsome doctor for a husband, a new home in the suburbs, and a life open to possibilities. All she needs now is to believe that she deserves it all. If only she could somehow become the confident woman she dreams of being, someone who turns heads when she enters a room, someone like Mira. 

 

Mira Levesque knows what she wants and knows how to get it. She built her business from the ground up, and now has the Miami lifestyle she always dreamed of. But a sudden unexpected loss brings to light the one thing she wants more than anything and cannot have. Now, none of the things she worked so hard to achieve seem to matter, and she finds herself pulling farther away from the one person she should be opening up to, her husband Stephan. 

 

After twelve years of marriage Stephan Levesque knows relationships have ups and downs. He has been patient these past months while Mira has grieved. But how long until his patience runs out? Perhaps a week aboard a tropical cruise will provide the opportunity they so desperately need to reconnect, and the chance to achieve the one goal that is just out of reach.

 

Jack Bartlett has spent his life focused on becoming a surgeon, and he’s nearly achieved his goal. In fact, if he hadn’t met Anne when she stumbled into the hospital one day, the idea of marriage might never have crossed his mind at all. With career success so near, it’s hard to believe he could fail at being a husband. Taking a cruise is a chance for he and Anne to finally relax and be newlyweds, so it has to be a mistake when Anne and Mira miss the ship in Jamaica, doesn’t it?
