In Too Deep
Not yet published
Expected 23 Jun 26A former reality dating show villain’s second chance at fame turns into a battle for the spotlight in this swoony, sharp-witted rom-com—the second book in the Love at First Sail series.
Reality TV changed Molly Spencer’s life—and not in the way anyone expected. While she didn’t find love, she did walk away with a golden opportunity: returning as host for the show’s tenth season. After years of dead-end jobs, scraping by as a single mom, and her tumultuous first attempt at reality TV stardom, Molly feels like things might finally be looking up.
Until she learns she won’t be hosting alone. What was supposed to be a solo gig has evolved into a two-person team, and a trial run from the network to decide which host will take the role permanently.
When the other person vying for the job turns out to be Jonah Monroe—an infuriatingly charming, washed-up movie star who is entirely Molly’s type and entirely off-limits—keeping their professional rivalry and growing attraction from spilling onto the screen proves easier said than done. That is, until it becomes the key to saving the show’s plummeting ratings.
As Jonah pushes every single one of Molly’s buttons, exposing the raw insecurities beneath her carefully crafted façade, the lines between their staged personas and raw off-screen connection begin to blur. When a series of cryptic text messages pushes Molly into even rougher waters—and with the ship heading straight into an oncoming storm, no less—she must how much is she willing to risk for love, family, and her future?
In Too Deep is the second standalone novel in the Love at First Sail series—perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Ali Hazelwood, and Meghan Quinn. Expect sizzling rivals-to-lovers tension, single-mom romance, forced proximity at sea, reality TV drama, found family, and a heroine who refuses to go down without a fight.
