Quiet On The Ferry

Quiet on the Ferry

Predawn fog. One whistle. Trust—or drift alone.

After an injury and a PR tailspin, action star Dax Rivera escapes Hollywood to shadow a state ferry maintenance yard, hoping real safety will make him a better stuntman—and a better man. Lara Quinton, the yards no-nonsense safety officer, has zero patience for men who treat danger like content. Her rules are simple: cones before cameras, one voice on deck, and stop first.

Assigned to Lara, Dax expects mechanics; he gets a culture—checklists, debriefs, and a crew who measure love by who carries what. When a man-overboard drill turns real, Laras calm command and Daxs unexpected competence pull a stranger—and their fragile trust—back to the surface. But rumor, studio pressure, and a community day under bright lights test every boundary theyve built. To earn a future, he must prove hes more than his image, and she must risk believing in someone in a job where drift kills.

A slow-burn, blue-collar romance about choosing boring on purpose—and finding something incandescent inside it.

Perfect for fans of: Katherine Center, Emily Henrys workplace tenderness, maritime vibes, found-family competence.
