Oh Buoy by Ava Olsen

Voyagers, Book 1

Andrew: I’ve traveled the world as a yacht steward for the past year, trying to outrun a broken heart and a mountain of debt. Then a gig as a chief stew on board a yacht in the Caribbean comes my way. The timing is right, the weather is perfect, and the pay is desperately needed.

There’s just one problem…

My billionaire boss, Rowan Carter, is way too distracting. With his charming British accent and sarcastic quips, Rowan commands all my attention and none of it is focused on work. I prepare to meet another entitled jerk when I step on board his ship, but it turns out that Rowan is the exception to the billionaire rule. And I get a first-hand glimpse of the kindhearted man behind the money.

The professional line between us melts away but I’ve been badly burned by a workplace relationship gone wrong. And Rowan and I live in two very different worlds. I can’t – shouldn’t – fall for Rowan Carter.

Oh boy. Too late.

Rowan: I run a real estate empire but being in the top one percent isn’t all fun and caviar. The family business has struggled these past two years and now the one place that was my refuge may be taken away from me. Add to that, I’m a target for the paparazzi because of a former relationship. I’ve never felt so alone. Lonely. Unmoored…

Until a dreamy American named Andrew Slater walks aboard my ship and into my life. Andrew takes delight in answering my snark with sarcastic retorts and his wit is matched by quiet acts of kindness.

Falling in love is an unexpected voyage for both of us. Unless the press gets wind of our relationship, and then all bets are off.

But I fight to win because Andrew is the most important deal of my life.

I heard the clink of bottles being moved about, but I couldn’t see who was crouched behind the bar, so I leaned over to introduce myself.

A blond head popped up, and I reared back. Oh God, not again. Why wasn’t Rowan Carter lying around on the sun deck, drinking champagne and eating caviar like a regular billionaire?

“Can I help you, Mr. Carter?” I asked calmly even though my heart felt like it was stuck in my throat.

“I was searching the delivery to ensure we had Markham’s Bay in stock. It’s one of my client’s favorite brands of gin. Unfortunately, it looks like the order was forgotten. Yet again.”  Rowan growled as he stood up to his full height, this time thankfully dressed in dark jeans and a navy T-shirt that stretched tight across his broad chest. We were about the same height, and when Rowan’s big blue eyes levelled on me intently, I automatically took a step back. My pulse jumped but I ignored it.

First day nerves.

I tapped the tablet, searching the preference sheet and the agenda for today’s travel. “I’ll call ahead to our provision contact in Grenada and see if we can have it brought on board by tender while the guests are loaded up. Is there anything else you need, sir?” After this morning’s total fiasco, I was determined to get back into the groove with my usual smooth, confident service.

“Yes, preferably a large number of sedatives to get me through this bloody weekend,” Rowan murmured as he stared at me.  “Sorry, nothing else. For now.”

 

I nodded politely in return just as Rowan’s phone rang. He answered in that smooth, cultured tone and sauntered down the hallway. Despite my exhaustion, I couldn’t help but notice the way those slim jeans framed his taut ass. Don’t judge me – any gay man would do the same, boss or not.

Focus, Andrew. Remember Anton.

Just saying the name of my ex put an end to my wayward thoughts right quick. If I needed sex, there’d be opportunities on shore to scratch my itch. I wasn’t about to fuck around with anyone I worked with or for. That was a hard rule that I’d put in place a year ago after my ex, Anton, shattered my heart and left me jobless and homeless. It was a horrible lesson but one that I would never forget.

But I did have needs, and I’d been neglecting my personal life since I’d been working nonstop for months. Once I had a day off, I’d head to one of the island resorts for some sexy fun with a stranger. Until then, and if needed, I’d take another shot from that icy outdoor hose to keep my hormones under control.

So long as Rowan Carter wasn’t the one hosing me down.
