Ship Happens by Mason Deaver

From bestselling and award-winning author Mason Deaver comes a delightful second-chance romance with heartfelt trans representation. Trapped on a cruise together, exes Owen and Jacob are forced to confront exactly why their relationship went off course. But in such close quarters, maybe they’ll finally be able to right the ship.

A year ago, Owen Henson had it all: a close-knit group of friends who felt like family and a boyfriend who made his heart race just by walking into the room. Now? Everything’s unraveling. His friends are moving on without him, and his happily-ever-after shattered the day Jacob packed up and left for the UK.

So when Jacob waltzes back into the city like nothing happened, looking infuriatingly handsome, Owen isn’t ready. He’s really not ready for the surprise six-day cruise up the West Coast to Alaska. Or for Jacob’s request to be something more complicated than exes. He wants to be friends.

But somewhere between the cruise-mandated activities and that breathtaking Alaskan backdrop, Owen feels his walls coming down. And he might just discover that letting go is the last thing he wants to do.

Cozy up with this warm, funny, feel-good read. Perfect for a rainy afternoon, a salty ferry ride, or a quiet evening tucked away from the sea air.

What’s inside:

• Forced proximity
• Exes to lovers
• A second chance worth taking

• Dating in secret
• Wonderfully meddling friends

A love story that simply refuses to sink. Come linger a while.
