About this Event

Join Page 158 Books as we welcome back best-selling author Katherine Center to celebrate her new novel, The Shippers.

**Please note this is a ticketed event and includes a hardback copy of The Shippers**

One of the hottest, fastest-rising Rom Com stars delivers her latest swoon-worthy novel set on a cruise ship with passion, hijinks, umbrella drinks, and long-lost love.

When Josephine Clark faints at the altar at the moment she's about to get married, the wedding is naturally called off. JoJo comes to the stark realization that she is making a huge mistake and this decision is backed up by the sudden appearance of her estranged childhood friend, Cooper Watts.
Cooper had been boycotting her wedding, but now he rescues her from the disapproving eyes of everyone at the venue. But she and Cooper haven't spoken in years and he's been living a life away in London. JoJo has been hurt by his mysterious disappearance, but now, he is her savior, much as he always was during the years of their childhood. But there is no time for Jo to lick her wounds over her abandoned wedding: her own sister is planning a destination wedding--on a cruise ship no less--and the entire old neighborhood is invited, including Cooper.
Her sister is determined to find a romantic match for Jo, on this ship-full of eligible (and not so eligible) men. But is the man she has her eyes on really the one she should be with? And what mysteries is Cooper hiding, to explain his four year absence? Has true love been in front of her this whole time? Or will stormy seas and and misunderstandings capsize her chance at happiness? No one does summer romance quite like Katherine Center and THE SHIPPERS will set readers on a course for true love and delicious escape.

KATHERINE CENTER is the New York Times bestselling author of several novels, including The Bodyguard and The Rom-Commers. Katherine writes laugh-and-cry books about how life knocks us down—and how we get back up. The movie adaptation of Katherine’s novel The Lost Husband hit #1 on Netflix, and Happiness for Beginners is a Netflix original movie starring Ellie Kemper. Katherine lives in her hometown of Houston, Texas, with her husband, two kids, and their fluffy-but-fierce dog.
