My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

The South family's boat was tiny, almost laughable against the vast ocean. Just watching it rock with the waves, Keira felt like a single strong wave might overturn it in an instant.

She kept her eyes fixed on the little boat as it gradually drifted toward the cruise ship they were on, coming to a stop just below it.
