RomantiSea Serenades Duet - Signed

Emerald Tide & Sapphire Seas by J.D. Harbor

Emerald Tide

Some tides bring change. Others bring second chances…

Aidan Murphy needs a break—from his family’s Irish pub, from the weight of responsibility, and from the feeling that his dreams have slipped through his fingers like sand. Boarding the Elysian Serenade for a weeklong escape, he’s ready to clear his mind, soak in the sea air, and maybe, just maybe, find the courage to chase a future of his own making.

Harper Brooks isn’t looking for love. After a high-profile breakup and a career implosion that left her reeling, she’s on this cruise because she has no choice—her boss insisted she take time off before she completely burns out. But slowing down has never been her strong suit, and even the rhythm of the waves can’t quiet the storm inside her.

Thrown together onboard a hosted singles voyage, Aidan and Harper find themselves drawn to one another in ways they never expected. What starts as a lighthearted flirtation quickly deepens into something neither of them can ignore. But real love isn’t just about the magic of moonlit dances and stolen kisses at sea—it’s about what happens when the ship docks, and reality comes rushing in.

With the tides shifting and their separate lives calling them back to shore, Aidan and Harper must decide: was this just a fleeting romance on the high seas, or the start of a love that can weather any storm?

Sapphire Seas

Some vacations are about relaxation. Others force you to face what you've been avoiding...

Harper Brooks doesn’t know how to be still. With her career hanging by a thread and a high-profile breakup still making headlines, she should welcome the chance to recharge. Instead, being sent on a luxury cruise against her will feels like punishment. She’s used to moving at full speed, chasing success, and proving herself—but surrounded by endless ocean and forced downtime, she’s left alone with thoughts she’d rather ignore.

Aidan Murphy didn’t come aboard Elysian Serenade looking for distractions. He’s spent years putting his family’s business first, setting aside his own dreams in the process. This trip is supposed to be a break—one week to breathe, to think, to figure out what comes next. He never expected Harper, a woman who challenges him, understands him, and sparks something in him he can’t quite name.

What begins as a lighthearted connection quickly becomes something more, something neither of them can afford to want. Because when the cruise ends, real life will be waiting. Harper has a career to rebuild. Aidan has responsibilities he can’t walk away from. And yet, with each stolen moment and unguarded glance, the question looms larger—are they simply two people passing through each other’s lives, or is this the start of something neither of them was ready for?
