What would you do if your actual dream man turned out to be real? Preorder Angie Hockman's next fresh and funny rom-com, Dream On, now!

Two arch-rivals.

One promotion.

Can they resist falling for one another in paradise?

Marketing manager Henley Evans barely has time for herself, let alone family, friends, or dating. But when she's shortlisted for her dream promotion, the sacrifices finally seem worth it.

If only Graeme Crawford-Collins, the remote social media manager and bane of her existence, wasn't also up for the position. Although they've never met in person, their epic email battles are the stuff of office legend.

The task: draft a proposal on how to boost bookings in the Galapagos.

The catch? They have to go on a company cruise . . . together.

But when they meet on the ship, Henley is shocked to discover that the real Graeme is nothing like she imagined—and the line between loathing and liking is thinner than a postcard.

With her career dreams in sight and a growing attraction to the competition, Henley begins questioning her life choices. Because what's the point of working all the time if you never actually live?

Witty, romantic, and completely addictive — LAUREN LAYNE

Shipped is a sweet, sunny getaway of a novel — SARAH HOGLE

Shipped is exactly what we all need right now: a rollicking rom-com with a conscience — KRISTIN ROCKAWAY

Enchanting, hilarious and a perfectly delightful escape! I loved every second of this enemies-to-lovers romance — NINA BOCCI

Flirty and fun, with a starring couple you'll fall in love with, Shipped is an eco-conscious rom-com with heart.
