Trapped on the Cruise: A Forced Proximity, Enemies-to-Lovers Sapphic Romance
A disillusioned music mogul.
A young singer hiding her true self.
And a luxury cruise that traps them together—on stage and off.
Bella McHale expected a dull family holiday.
Being stuck at sea with her rigid, law-obsessed parents feels more like a prison than a getaway. For a girl who secretly dreams of performing—and keeps her sexuality hidden—the ship’s luxury is just a gilded cage.
She didn’t expect Iris Blue.
Powerful, poised, and impossibly cold, Iris is the cruise’s star lounge singer. After walking away from a high-stakes career in the music industry, she has no patience for entitled passengers—especially not the outspoken girl who seems to see right through her.
They clash from the start.
But when a medical emergency leaves Iris without a vocal partner, Bella is the only one who can step in.
Forced into intimate rehearsals, the ice between them begins to melt.
Tension builds. Boundaries blur.
Bella finds the courage to use her voice.
And Iris begins to see the woman beneath the girl’s guarded exterior.
But reality is waiting at the next port.
Bella’s family.
Iris’s past.
And a truth that could change everything.
When the cruise ends and the spotlight fades…will they hold on to what they found—
or return to the lives they were trying to escape?
Trapped on the Cruise is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance full of tropical heat, ice-queen tension, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. Book 4 in The Trapped Ice Queens series of stand-alones.
