Nurse Mari Mannon put her life on hold for Firefighter/Paramedic Graham Blake one too many times. He's out of her life for good now that he has decided never to love again. She decides to start fresh, with a new attitude. First objective: Seduce a stranger on her family's annual vacation - this year, a cruise to Alaska. She has this pesky problem called virginity that she really needs to get rid of, with no prospects for a man in her life.

Matchmaking Mamas Charlotte Mannon and her best friend, Eleanor Blake, want their kids to be together. Mari and Graham always loved each other; they just didn't have the sense to keep life from getting in their way.

A surprise meet-up on the Sunset Destiny cruise ship is the plan, and it goes off without a hitch. Mari is upset that she might have to ditch 'the seduction' until she realizes that seducing Graham would be even better than seducing a stranger. She wants one night, but with the help of two matchmaking old women and Graham's daughter, Sarah, who really wants Mari to be her mommy - she just might get a lifetime of happiness.

Will they rediscover the love they once had while exploring a passion they've never known, or will they end things for good this time?
