Ship Wrecked: A Novel
α’αααΈααααα βααΆααα‘ααααα
After All the Feels and Spoiler Alert, Olivia Dade once again delivers a warm and wonderful romantic comedy about two co-stars who once had an incredible one-night standβand after years of filming on the same remote island, are finally ready to yield to temptation again...
Mariaβs one-night-standβthe thick-thighed, sexy Viking of a man she left without a word or a noteβjust reappeared. Apparently, Peterβs her surly Gods of the Gates co-star, and theyβre about to spend the next six years filming on a desolate Irish island together. She still wants him...but he now wants nothing to do with her.
Peter knows this role could finally transform him from a forgettable character actor into a leading man. He also knows a failed relationship with Maria could poison the set, and he wonβt sabotage his career for a woman whoβs already walked away from him once. Given time, maybe they can be cooperative colleagues or friendsβpossibly even best friendsβbut not lovers again. No matter how much he aches for her.
For years, they donβt touch off-camera. But on their last night of filming, their mutual restraint finally shatters, and all their pent-up desire explodes into renewed passion. Too bad they still donβt have a future together, since Peterβs going back to Hollywood, while Mariaβs returning to her native Sweden. She thinks she needs more than he can give her, but heβs determined to change her mind, and heβs spent the last six years waiting. Watching. Wanting.
His shipwrecked Swede doesnβt stand a chance.

Olivia Dade grew up an undeniable nerd, prone to ignoring the world around her as she read any book she could find. Her favorites, though, were always, always romances. As an adult, she earned an M.A. in American history and worked in a variety of jobs that required the donning of actual pants: Colonial Williamsburg interpreter, high school teacher, academic tutor, and (of course) librarian. Now, however, she has finally achieved her lifelong goal of wearing pajamas all day as a hermit-like writer and enthusiastic hag. She currently lives outside Stockholm with her delightful family and their ever-burgeoning collection of books.
