An undercover mission aboard the Bruise Cruise

On the Bruise Cruise, Maverick is ready for indulgence—and instead finds himself sharing a suite and bed with Frankie, a federal agent assigned to take down Jim and his crew. The dual perspectives set their enemies-to-lovers tension alongside the conflict between Frankie's mission and the secrets Maverick reveals. Ship Happens is the third book in Lauren Biel's dark romantic comedy series, with a cruise-ship setting and a relationship shaped by forced proximity, an age gap, and danger. The publisher notes that the book contains adult themes and directs readers to its website for content warnings.

Book overview

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.

 

Pack your bags, grab your life vest, and book your ticket-Ship Happens is your next slaycation!
