Katherine Center, “the reigning queen of comfort reads” (Book Page), delivers "The Shippers," a witty, heart-tugging romance. After a lifetime of being bad at love, JoJo Burton decides to solve her intimacy issues once and for all at her sister’s cruise ship wedding. Upon identifying a newly divorced potential love interest, she recruits Cooper, her childhood bestie, as her wingman. Shipboard antics ensue as the two fake flirt, slow dance, share a cabin, sing duets, treat sunburns, and get jealous. The more they team up for Project Conquest, the more JoJo begins to recognize the place Cooper holds in her heart.
Houston native Katherine Center is the New York Times bestselling author of over half a dozen books, including "How to Walk Away," "Things You Save in a Fire," and "What You Wish For". She has been compared to both Jane Austen and Nora Ephron, and The Dallas Morning News calls her stories “satisfying in the most soul-nourishing way.” Screen adaptations of her novels include "The Lost Husband" and "Happiness for Beginners."
