Below Deck meets Romantic Comedy in this irresistible story about what happens when your teenage fantasy comes true in your adult years by the bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow.

Annie is:

  • On a cruise with her one-time favourite boyband and a thousand female super-fans
  • Still reeling from her divorce
  • Being replaced at work by her intern

Keith is:

  • Fifty years old and in a band that performs dance routines with hip thrusts
  • Suffering from sea sickness
  • Certain his wife doesn't love him anymore

When a meet-and-greet throws them together, Annie develops a crush on Keith, and Keith starts to wonder if life might have a few surprises in store for him.

But are Keith and Annie just living a fantasy? And what happens when they get back to shore?
