Now that That Special Something is out in the wild (ebook, paperback coming soon), it’s time to announce our next book: Miles from Nowhere.

Having spent the height of the pandemic working in the ICU, Amber Lee Molina is ready for change. Signing on to work as a nurse aboard a luxury cruise ship may seem like a counterintuitive choice for a woman from land-locked Arizona, but she’ll get used to the water — and the quirks of shipboard life — in no time. 

Cruise ship captain Eric Byrne rode out the pandemic on a tiny island in the Mediterranean, pitching in as the global shut down forced the tiny community to fend for itself. Now thrilled to be back at sea, the multi-year hiatus has eroded some of his discipline when it comes to never getting involved with his crew or their drama. He also can’t stop thinking about what it would be like to have home and family beyond the water and the sky.

When Eric and Amber run into each other during a break between voyages at a boutique hotel specializing in connecting travelers for their perfect holiday hookup match, life gets awkward fast. They have two choices: Forget it ever happened, or enjoy each other’s company and then forget it ever happened.

There’s just one problem: Neither of them wants to forget.

(While this high-heat romance acknowledges the pandemic in the experiences of its characters, it is not a plot point beyond acknowledging the world we live in now. No one gets sick, no one dies, and Covid precautions exist and are implemented.)

Tropes include: age gap (although both characters are over 30, and like… does it matter at that point), forced proximity, an island that is not what it seems, and a man in uniform (without anyone being a cop!). Book is high heat and has some kink.

You can preorder it now at Amazon.com and it will be available on more platforms as the release date approaches.
