Shipped is a literary vacation I never wanted to end.

If readers crave an escape, it certainly offers one, but it also feels poignantly real. “ absolutely sparking debut… Shipped is a divine enemies-to-lovers tale set against the backdrop of snorkeling with sea lions and hikes ending in breathtaking ocean vistas…It’s as sunny and inviting as its tropical vacation setting, one of those books that makes the heart swell with joy. For fans of Helen Hoang and Sophie Kinsella, this charming romp at sea will make readers wish to stay with the characters well after the story’s end.” - Library Journal “Newcomer Hockman creates a paradise in the sunny and distinct Galapagos setting, educating readers on the wildlife of the islands and the conservation efforts that become a powerful part of the story. Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne, Shipped is a fresh and engaging rom-com that celebrates the power of second chances and the magic of new beginnings. Because what’s the point of working all the time if you never actually live? With her career dreams in her sights and a growing attraction to the competition, Henley begins questioning her life choices. And as they explore the Islands together, she soon finds the line between loathing and liking thinner than a postcard. But when they meet on the ship, Henley is shocked to discover that the real Graeme is nothing like she imagined. There’s just one catch: they have to go on a company cruise to the Galapagos Islands…together. Their boss tasks each of them with drafting a proposal on how to boost bookings in the Galapagos-best proposal wins the promotion.

Although they’ve never met in person, their email battles are the stuff of office legend. The only problem? Graeme Crawford-Collins, the remote social media manager and the bane of her existence, is also up for the position. But when she’s shortlisted for the promotion of her dreams, all her sacrifices finally seem worth it.

Between taking night classes for her MBA and her demanding day job at a cruise line, marketing manager Henley Evans barely has time for herself, let alone family, friends, or dating.
