Tropes: 𤫠Fake dating š„ Forced proximity š Only one bed š Revenge pact š¤ Opposites attract š Enemies to lovers
That ship has sailed... right?
Jessa is happily cruising through life - until her boyfriend Todd dumps her, out of the blue, at a wedding, during the first dance. She doesnāt know it but just across the room, cricket superstar Brody is also being blindsided by his girlfriend, Nikki. It suddenly makes sense in the days that follow - Todd and Nikki are now together.
Jessa wants to crawl under a rock, but with her best friendās destination wedding on a cruise to Sicily - and her ex and his new girlfriend onboard - thereās no escape. Sheās hoping the ship is big enough to avoid them but, unlucky for her, a booking mix-up means sheās sharing a two-bed suite with Todd, Nikki, and the handsome but infuriating Brody too.
With no choice but to ride out the awkwardness, Jessa and Brody hatch a plan. If they canāt win their exes back, theyāll get them back - revenge - by faking a red-hot romance of their own. Thatāll show them. But the better they get at faking it - and the more undeniable their chemistry - the blurrier the line becomes. Either way, thereās going to be trouble at sea because true love is never plain sailing!
