Ellie Gorman hasn't had a vacation in years. Working herself to the bone day and night on Wall Street has kept her mind from wandering too often to the only man she's ever loved. The man she left fourteen years ago after their high school graduation. When her best friend lures her to join a girls' cruise, Ellie relents. The sun will do her good. Relaxation is her top priority. No stress for a full week. Noah Seager has spent more than a decade fulfilling his dream of joining the Navy SEALs and serving his country. But he's exhausted and worn out. It's time to retire, find himself, and start a new chapter in his life. A vacation with his best childhood friend is the perfect way to decompress. Even better-a cruise. Neither Noah nor Ellie are prepared to run into each other at the bar on the lido deck as soon as they board the ship. They've been set up, and they plan to toss their meddling friends overboard...as soon as they can find them. Fourteen years ago they'd been very much in love. They'd known. Everyone had known. And then the bottom had fallen out of their worlds. Ellie has a secret she has never shared with a single person. Noah has lived with the pain, hurt, and frustration of being dumped for unknown reasons. He never should have let her go, and that realization slams into him with a powerful punch as the two get reacquainted. While Ellie struggles with admitting her deep feelings for Noah have never subsided, Noah fights his own internal battle. She insists she can't and won't ever reveal the nature of their breakup. Can Noah convince her to let him back into her life anyway? And more importantly, can he let their past go, bury it, and live a fulfilling life with the woman he never forgot, knowing he will never have all the answers?

Graham Wentz is an introvert. Painfully timid. Or he was. Until he woke up from a ten-year preservation. Now, he finds himself face-to-face with Kate Bauer, a woman he'd once secretly admired from a distance. Empowered with the knowledge that Kate also has eyes for him, Graham finds the confidence to take action. But Kate is hesitant. He's certain she's attracted to him, but something is holding her back. Graham is nothing if not patient. After all, his experience with women is extremely limited anyway. They're living in a new world-one filled with obstacles at every turn. Their entire Project DEEP team is in trouble, as well as three decades' worth of data. Graham and Kate need to step up to the plate and help the team. Curing diseases is Graham's life. It's all he knows. What if Kate decides that path is no longer her priority? Where does that leave the two of them?

Zeke is the fifth person to be reanimated after being cryonically preserved for ten years. But he wakes up to a world that resents his very existence. Everything he worked for is in danger of being destroyed. The last thing he needs is a well-meaning scientist with her own agenda. Michelle would rather work with anyone besides the surly scientist she's been partnered with. The man desperately needs an attitude adjustment. Too bad his penetrating glares also manage to hit a long-buried place inside her. It doesn't matter because there's no way she's going to enter a relationship with a coworker. And after his disastrous marriage, he has no interest in letting any woman get under his skin. Even in their standoff, sparks fly. Eventually they will have to face the truth because curing disease isn't their only job these days. Staying one step ahead of whoever would rather see them dead is equally important. They need each other, and it would be much easier if they could get along. Even better if they could find a way to let the other into their hearts.

After ten years, life is giving them a second chance... Tushar will do anything to rekindle his marriage. Keeping his wife safe is his number one priority. Hiding in the Mountains of Montana is their best chance at survival. Trish isn't on the same page. She wants more time with the son she hasn't seen for ten years. She wants her life back. What if it turns out no place is safe? The sparks that brought them together two decades ago are still burning. Neither is willing to take the risk. But second chances should never be squandered.

Blair has the perfect cushy assignment. Protect Dade while he recovers from ten years in a cryostat. In a remote hidden cabin. With plenty of supplies. And nothing but time. But time is Dade's number one enemy. And Blair can't seem to maintain her badass persona around him. He's breaking down her walls. She's working her ass off to convince him life is worth living. A mole in the government would rather see him dead. An experimental treatment could save him. One he isn't willing to try. Even when they're arguing, the chemistry between them is palpable. But now is not the time for romance. Now is the time to fight for his life.

It's been ten years... For Ryan it's been the longest ten years of his life. For Emily it's been days. He spent those ten years developing a cure for the virus she contracted. She spent those ten years in a cryostat, her life suspended. She's not the only one to be reanimated, but she is the first. The media is surrounding the compound. The religious zealots are picketing. But people have lives to live, and somehow they have to move forward. Ryan still has work to do. People to revive. A disease to cure. Emily has a blank slate. She can go anywhere. Do anything. She can't stay in the bunker. It casts a pall over everyone. Now is not the time for distractions. Now is not the time to fall in love.
