The Heir and the Songstress: A Billionaire, Forbidden, Forced-Proximity Romance

By Starry Quin

I'm a Caldwell, heir to a billion-dollar empire. I'm not supposed to feel, especially not for the girl who sings for the guests.
But you haven't met Emma.
My father has me trapped on this ship for my sister's wedding celebrations. One slip and he pounces.
Emma doesn't bow to the name.
I bump her luggage; she grabs my sleeve, stares me down, and makes me apologize. She doesn't care about the billions, only that I'm being a jerk.
Now I'm addicted. I'm up at 4:00 a.m. for her runs, salt air, burning lungs, silence like truth. At our first island stop, I forget my wallet; she feeds me chocolate and berries, and we dive into the ocean dressed. I feel real.
Walls close in. Her boss hides her. My father calls her a "calculated risk" and makes me promise that when we dock, she becomes a ghost. A footnote.
Emma quits, walking away from the job her family needs.
Now I have to choose.
Do I go after her, or...
Toe the line and become the heartless man my father raised.
