Kelly Fowler's world as an up-and-coming surgeon is turned upside-down when the pressures of the job hit too close to the heart. After jumping in her car with no destination in mind, she ends up back home in Citrus Bay. Will she find the courage to face the challenges of love and loss surrounding the lives she holds in her hands, or will she walk away from it all? In an attempt at rehabilitating a beloved niece's confidence, Rose Fowler, retired psychologist, enlists the aid of her single senior women's group, the Citrus Bay Travelers. Together, they embark on a tropical cruise that may be exactly what the doctor ordered. Julien Durand has a secret. His years on the gambling circuit has kept him playing his cards close to the vest. But when a flaming red-haired beauty blows into his life like a storm on the water, his cruise ship poker tournament is thrown into turmoil. Can he keep his head in the game when he's betting on the largest stakes of all-love? Will he make the decision to cash out or go all-in one more time? Memories can touch us at the oddest moments and give us joy. It's all about the adventure and if you decide to take the safe route, or the questionable route.
