Plain Sailing: A forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers Summer read.
One week, one yacht, one fake boyfriend—and a boatload of secrets.
Wren, Quinn, and Verity have been inseparable since their school days, and now, nearly twenty years after Wren first stepped into the enchanting world of Chez Vincent—Verity’s idyllic family home—they’re back on the stunning south coast for Mama & Papa Vincent’s vow renewal. A week on a luxurious yacht, sailing the Dorset coast with friends, family, and endless champagne—what could possibly go wrong?
Plenty, it turns out.
Wren has been keeping secrets. Big ones. Like the fact all's not well at her prestigious architectural firm. And Noah—the so-called ‘boyfriend’ the Vincents have sweetly invited as a surprise? He’s actually her work rival, the insufferable thorn in her side... and very much not her boyfriend.
Trapped together on the yacht, Wren scrambles to keep up the charade. But as the sea air works its magic and Noah starts acting less like an enemy and more like the perfect plus-one, Wren begins to wonder—what if the biggest lie of all is the one she's been telling herself?
Sailing, secrets, and unexpected sparks collide in this irresistible tale of second chances and self-discovery.
