Ship Happens Book 1

An Enemies to Lovers, Stuck Together, Romantic Comedy.

She’s on a mission to expose him. He’s determined to change her mind. Neither expects to fall overboard—into love.

Marine biologist Harper Bennett doesn’t do luxury. Or billionaires. So when she’s forced onto a singles' cruise to document its so-called sustainability efforts, she’s ready to suffer through a week of overpriced cocktails and fake eco-friendly buzzwords. But then she crosses paths with Ethan Cole—tech mogul, walking PR disaster, and the man she just threw a drink at… on live TV.

Now, thanks to one viral feud and a meddling cruise director, Harper is stuck fake dating Ethan for the rest of the trip. Between over-the-top couples’ challenges, an increasingly invested audience, and a very inconvenient attraction, the lines between real and pretend start to blur.

Because pretending to fall for Ethan was never part of the plan. Actually falling for him? A complete disaster.

As the ship nears its final port, Harper has a choice: walk away like she always planned, or admit that love—like the ocean—is bigger, wilder, and completely unpredictable.
