Christmas Cruise Mistake

by Harmony Noble

2025 · 277 pages

Escaping an Alaskan winter? Check. Accidentally fake-honeymooning on a Christmas cruise? Unfortunately… also check. When a last-minute tropical cruise pulls university student Aurora out of a brutal breakup and an even colder Alaskan holiday, she knows exactly what to do. Pack bikinis. Pack sarcasm and sass. Relax. Flirt irresponsibly. Forget her ex ever existed. Thanks to a cruise-line booking disaster, Aurora finds herself trapped on a couples-only cruise, pretending to be the bride of her gay best friend. Oops! Now Aurora is fielding newlywed questions, stumbling through love workshops, and faking marital bliss for the sake of free activities and unlimited desserts. She’s barely surviving when sparks ignite with the older, dangerously sexy cruise ship captain—and suddenly the lie feels a lot more complicated. The plan? Fake it ‘til they dock. But between tequila, tangled lies, and tension not even a conga line can fix, Aurora’s story is falling apart—and her dream vacation might be the real disaster. The odds are still good. The drama? It’s a full-blown shipwreck. Author’s Note: Want more sapphic romance with big feelings and Alaskan vibes?
