OLIVIA AND ALEX

Olivia Mannon had a perfect life. She'd made sure of it. Hard work and perseverance had her climbing the ladder of success and she was only a few years away from meeting her ultimate goal. A new house on the golf course or maybe overlooking the lake was next in her sights and nothing would stop her from getting it. Her sacrifices for a sense of stability and peace of mind were many, including true happiness and Alex, the love of her life.


Alex Paige had a 'great' life. Best of all, he didn't have to be locked up in an office or a storefront all day. He truly felt free flying float planes through the Alaskan wilderness and running the tour business his uncle left him. There was only one thing missing, the one thing he could never have, the love of his life, Olivia.


Charlotte Mannon was determined to help her daughter find true happiness and give up her warped sense of what life should be. And she knew, only one man could accomplish the near impossible task. Some research, a tour brochure and a phone call starts her plan in motion. Alex and Olivia will meet again during the family's time on the Sunset Destiny cruise ship.


Will Olivia be able to merge her "suite at a five star resort" lifestyle with Alex's "camp outdoors" way of life. Or will they lose each other all over again...this time for good.
