A bubbly Californian waitress. A grumpy Australian surgeon. Nine days for their unlikely romance to steal the show...
​Maya Martinez thought turning twenty-five would be a blockbuster, but the reviews are in—this year’s a flop. Her parents’ marriage is over, and when she’s been working double shifts to save her family’s Hollywood restaurant, her high school sweetheart has been auditioning a new girlfriend behind her back.

Landing a spot on a hot new reality show is the perfect revenge. A tropical Fijian paradise thousands of miles from her problems? Check. Nine days of all-expenses-paid, five-star luxury? Check. Gorgeous men to lust over? Well, one man certainly captures her attention.

Charlie Sutherland shouldn’t make her heart race. The Australian surgeon is grumpy, too smart for his own good, and constantly lectures her about following the rules. But when he’s not brooding about the accident that stalled his career, he’s also caring and—she hates to admit it—fun
With an itinerary packed with couple activities for them to bond—and bicker about—in front of the cameras, the unlikely pair steal the show. But even if Maya and Charlie can deny their growing attraction to each other, there’s no escaping the fact that even a perfect vacation has to end.
