First Mates by Cecelia Dowdy
This relationship started on a cruise ship on the rolling seas and continued on shaky ground. Two steps forward and one back for this couple.

Winston Michaels and Rainy Jackson both head out from their homes in Miami to board a seven day cruise. Both going in hopes of healing their hearts. Rainy's friends convinced her to take this trip to get over her ex-fiance's breaking her heart and Winston's brother bought him the trip for his birthday. A birthday that his twin sister wouldn't be celebrating with him that year. In the loneliness of the crowded ship these two souls find each other.

After enjoying the cruise they decide to stay in touch. Did they deal with their pasts and have clear sailing for the future or would their pasts keep haunting them?

Cecelia keeps this relationship touch and go while bringing other interesting characters along for the ride. Rainy's best friends Sarah and Rachel and their struggles. Linda the flirty office assistant who don't quite do her job. She brings in struggles in marriages, addictions and much more. And lots and lots of flowers.
