VanessaI've finally landed my dream job, and I intend to celebrate that before I ship out tomorrow. When I meet the handsome Ian at the hotel bar, a night of passion turns into something unexpected. I shouldn't let myself catch feelings. However Ian and I click so well, he leaves his mark on me. Unfortunately, I'm so caught up in our short time together that I make a series of life-changing mistakes, and no way to reach him. I may be the organized chief stew on the outside, but inside, I'm an absolute mess. IanI don't do one-night stands. After the most incredible night of my life with Vanessa, I want more. I want every night to be with her and nobody else. Unfortunately, a family emergency pulls me back home to the States, and I have no way to reach Vanessa on the yacht where she works. That is, until a dubious opportunity falls in my lap that helps me to track her down. I don't care who I have to pay, I have to find her. Once I have her back in my arms, though, something feels off. There's something distant about her, and I aim to find out what's going on. We are meant to be together and there won't be any distance, any secrets, or any barrier between us ever again.

AngelicaMy 23rd birthday is coming up, so I should be excited to get my royal inheritance as the princess of Austero. Unfortunately, my father, the king, is stuck in his ways and insists on upholding old traditions that dictate that I must be arranged in marriage first. I want to stick up for myself, but I also need that money to break away and start a life of my own. It would seem that I'm trapped, until a handsome deckhand makes an offer that will surely turn the tides. But am I prepared for the ensuing maelstrom with my family? AbelI wouldn't have believed in love at first sight, until it happened to me. As soon as I see Princess Angelica boarding the yacht I work on, I know I need a plan to make her mine. When I learn about her predicament, I'm both horrified on her behalf, and inspired. I've got an idea, but I'll have to act fast. Maybe I'm sailing too close to the wind, but I've got one chance and I'm taking it. Batten down the hatches, royal family! Naughty Yachties is a new series of short romance stories loosely inspired by Below Deck.

JunoNow that I've been promoted to chief steward on the yacht Carpe Diem, I have to at least try to get along with our tempestuous chef. Yet, Maksim and I can't seem to play nice. Something about him makes my claws come out, and whenever we are together in the galley, it's more than his cooking that's aflame. My feelings might be hurt at the way we trade barbs, if he weren't such an egotistical hothead. Me? I'll just keep doing what I do best: say yes to the guests and never back down from a challenge. Even if that challenge is a glowering, towering man with eyes that seem to see right through me. MaksimI did not join this crew to get attached to a woman; I came here to start a new life. Even if my innermost feelings demand something more than a solitary existence. I'll just have to deal with it; anyone attached to me will only end up with a target on her back, same as me. Leaving behind my job as a hired assassin doesn't mean I deserve any kind of normal, homey type of life. And yet, Juno is in my head. The smart-mouthed chief stew can't seem to stay in her lane, stay out of my galley, or stay out of my dreams. When we try to work together, all we do is trade barbs. I wouldn't care about the banter, but I'm enjoying it too much. The more I push her away the more my body and soul find ways to be close to her. Maybe a yacht wasn't the best choice if I want to avoid connecting with other people. Maybe a hot kitchen, with a hotter chief stew constantly buzzing around me, is too much for my cold heart.

StarA job aboard a luxury charter yacht means everything to me, but I can't seem to stay focused. When my ineptitude lands me in hot water with the much older captain, I expect to be fired. Instead, the bossy Captain Joe teaches me things I never knew about myself. And now, I have a secret - that ex-Navy SEAL may run a tight ship, but underneath that tough exterior is a teddy bear that has roped me into a life I never imagined. Captain JoeThe greenest crew member is going to be the death of me. She's so bad at her job that she's a danger to herself. Unfortunately, Star is also sweet, kind, and gorgeous, and makes me crave things I didn't know I needed. A wife. A partner. A family. Maybe it's all an illusion; maybe I've spent too much time at sea. She's a siren half my age and I don't stand a chance when her soul calls out to me. Our little secret may mean the end of my career, but it's just the beginning of my life.

AllyWhat could be more lucky than having a successful brother who includes you on his luxury charter-yacht vacation in the Mediterranean? Sun, sea breeze, cute deckhands, and beach reads seems like the perfect getaway from my aimless life. Except for one thing: the tacit understanding here is that I'll be working for my brother's gaming company. No thanks! I'm only 19 once, and when am I ever coming back to Italy? I intend to make the most of it while I'm here, even if the captain insists that my flighty ass needs a grumpy, tattooed deckhand to chaperone me on a shopping excursion. This guy had better batten down the hatches, because we're about to have some fun with my trust fund. QuintI didn't sign up to work on the deck of The Carpe Diem only to spend time following a 19-year-old rich kid around Naples. But I need to stop punching coworkers in the face if I don't want to end up on babysitting duty. However, spending the day with Ally soon proves to be more than what anyone bargained for. Figuring out that she's perfect for me doesn't take long. There's just one problem: she's a guest, and I'm not allowed to touch her. Not in the way I want to. I'll have to wait until her charter is over. Waiting…that's the wisest course of action for two impulsive people, right?
