Donovan Sharper is left torn and defeated after being turned down by Shayla Kline, the only woman to touch his heart since the death of his wife five years ago. He fell hard for Shayla, but Shayla is in love with another man.
Donovan feels like he’s been cheated and even though Shayla is married now, he’s still infatuated with her, and miserable because he can’t have her. Worried about her son, his mother urges him to go on a cruise to get away from his hectic life as a workaholic and single father. During his vacation, he meets Kamila Jenkins – a fun-loving, younger woman who forces him to let go of his frustration and live a little.
Donovan can admit that he enjoys the time he spends with Kamila, but can he let go of his feelings for Shayla to make his heart available again? Or will he let Kamila slip away while he pursues a woman he cannot have?

Not my favorite I really wanted to see Donovan meet his match and possibly see a dual chase or resistance from both parts but they failed and ended up falling for each other. He already looked desperate chasing after Shayla after knowing her for such a short time. Then he let Kamila pressure him into marrying her when she came off as a psycho. The excuse of hearing someone yelling or whatever in their sleep doesn't mean go over and wake them. UNLESS, he's as fine as Donovan is described i.e. pickup line on her part. I'm sure had it been a Sloth lookin' man talking about Baby Ruth's she wouldn't have stopped. On top of all that he hadn't been in a relationship in so long it seemed he jumped on the first thing to come his way. He should've had a better story then this.
