Ship Happens: A Dark Rom-Com

By Lauren Biel

Love hurts, but I like the pain

Maverick

The second I board the Bruise Cruise, I'm ready to indulge-top-shelf liquor, five-star meals, and maybe a little pain to round out the night.

What I don't expect? Falling for the one woman guaranteed to ruin everything.

A federal agent.

She's here to sink us, and I'm stuck sharing a suite-and a bed-with the enemy.

Frankie

Get in. Take down Jim and his crew. Get out. That's the mission.

But nothing about the Bruise Cruise goes according to plan.

Especially not Maverick-handsome, odd, aggravating . . . and weirdly charming.

Which is a problem.

And then he tells me his secrets, leaving me with two options: jump ship or go down with him.

Ship Happens is book three in the dark romantic comedy series rocking the TikTok charts-and this time, all aboard means no one is safe. Expect savage banter, killer humor, and a romance that's anything but smooth sailing.
