Named a Best Romance Book of the Year by Entertainment Weekly * Goodreads * PopSugar * Marie Claire * Real Simple * Insider * Vulture * CNN * Bookreporter * BookBub * and more!

A bestselling romantic comedy perfect for fans of The Unhoneymooners and The Hating Game, this enemies-to-lovers workplace romance set on a Galápagos cruise blends witty banter, forced proximity, and slow-burn chemistry.

Between night classes for her MBA and her high-pressure job at a cruise line, marketing manager Henley Evans has no time for anything except work. So when she’s shortlisted for her dream promotion, it finally feels like everything is paying off.

Until she finds out her biggest competition is Graeme Crawford-Collins—the remote social media manager she’s been sparring with in legendary email battles for months.

When their boss challenges them to pitch a winning marketing campaign for the Galápagos Islands, there’s just one catch: they have to go on a company cruise together. But when Henley meets Graeme in person, she’s caught off guard—he’s charming, thoughtful, and nothing like the rival she imagined.

As they explore volcanic islands, blue lagoons, and exotic wildlife, their rivalry turns into reluctant attraction. Now Henley must decide what matters more: the career she’s worked tirelessly for, or the unexpected chance at love.

Fresh, funny, and swoonworthy, this feel-good rom-com is a perfect beach read about ambition, second chances, and discovering what really makes life meaningful.
