Two strangers find themselves stranded at sea together in this epic new love story by bestselling author Beth O’Leary.

What if you were lost at sea…with your one-night stand?

Zeke and Lexi thought it would just be a night of fun. They had no intentions of seeing each other again. Zeke is only in town for the weekend to buy back his late father’s houseboat. Lexi has no time for dating when she needs to help take care of her best friend's daughter.

Going back home with a stranger seems like a perfect escape from their problems. But a miscommunication in the dark, foggy night means no one tied the houseboat to the dock. The next morning, Zeke and Lexi realize all they can see is miles and miles of water.

With just a few provisions on the idle boat, Zeke and Lexi must figure out how to get back home. But aside from their survival, they’re facing another challenge. Because when you’re stuck together for days on end, it gives you a lot of time to get to know someone—and to fall in love with them.

Critic reviews

"Swept Away is that rare story that feels like a brand new version of romance - with unlikely lovers in a confined space in a way you've never quite seen before. Suffice to say I drowned - happily - in this book."—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"An epic romance expertly woven into an adventure thriller, Swept Away had me swooning and gasping at the turn of every page. Truly, no one writes falling in love like Beth O’Leary, and this one completely stole my heart."—Annabel Monaghan, USA Today bestselling author of Summer Romance

"Who knew abandoned oil rigs could be so romantic? Swept Away is a one of a kind story and an absolute treat. Completely original, so romantic, funny, fresh and deeply heartfelt, this is Beth O'Leary at her very best. Zeke and Lexi are compelling, complex characters you can't help but root for, with a love story that had me hooked from page one. Swept Away has my whole heart."—Lindsey Kelk, Sunday Times bestselling author

I truly enjoyed this book start to finish. I’m unclear on the meh reviews. I loved the narrators, I loved the story of love between Zeke and Lexi. Even the ending was great. I wasn’t left wanting.

I liked the love story portion of the book, but the survivalist part really stressed me out. I found myself speeding it up in parts just to get through it.

Stressful!
