the wake-up call on my life with a nine-month work-study cruise. See the world, experience all of it to the fullest, and maybe (if I'm lucky) find the life I've lost.

I just wish I'd known what I was signing up for.

My scholarship depends on tutoring a student. But not just any student, oh no. That would be too easy. Instead I get Paxton Wilder, daredevil influencer and X Games champion. And wherever he goes, documentary cameras, groupies, and high-octane stunts will follow.

I want to hate him. I want to kick his arrogant ego right off this boat. But from the second we touch, my stomach does a full-on bungee jump and I know that Wilder is as much stay-away danger as he is addictive adrenaline.

Because I know what happens to guys who go looking for that next wild ride. And I know what happens to the girls who fall for them.

Now our fates are strapped together...and if he goes down, I don't stand a chance.
