Sophia "Phia" Lopez has lived a sheltered and over-protected life. First, growing up under the strict rule of her Cuban father in Miami, and then living with her equally stern brother in San Diego. At almost twenty-five, she feels like the world is passing her by. And then, a chance of a lifetime Phia is chosen to be the personal assistant and traveling companion for famous Hollywood actress, Loreal De Winter, who is sailing incognito aboard the luxury cruise ship The Viceroy following extensive plastic surgery. Not only will Phia, an aspiring actress, have the opportunity to learn from a true legend, but she'll also be able to finally live life and all it has to offer on her terms - not under the watchful eyes of her brother and father. She plans to do plenty of dancing, drinking, and flirting. The moment she steps aboard, she catches the eye of the sexy ship's photographer, Evan Gregory, who is more than willing to match her flirt-for-flirt during their eighteen day cruise. The two spend a magical day on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, enjoy a heated night at the disco, and explore their mutual attraction to each other that leaves Phia's head spinning. But Phia's also got her work cut out for her. Not only is Loreal on a cocktail of pills washed down by an assortment of liquors and wines, but she's only too happy to share her life lessons and plenty of Hollywood dirt with Phia on a daily basis. To make matters worse, Loreal's ex-husband has hired undercover paparazzi on board the ship, attempting to snap embarrassing photos of the still-healing silver screen star that could end her big comeback. Phia experiences life, love, and loyalty to the fullest as The Viceroy makes its way from the Pacific, through the Panama Canal, and into the Atlantic Ocean, with a media circus awaiting them upon docking in Miami. Will Loreal manage to give the paparazzi the slip or will she be exposed? Will Phia choose her loyalty to Loreal or her feelings for Evan? And, in the end, will everyone be able to save face?"
