“This witty, heartfelt romance is an absolute treat for readers.”
—Elly Gilbert, coauthor of Under the Blue Skies
Cheeky septuagenarian matchmakers, the “Shippers” are on a mission to secure a dreamy Mr. Right for Abby O’Brien, a sunny, optimistic childcare worker for Monarch Cruises. She loves her job looking after the children of vacationing parents, but harbors one unfulfilled to be a wife and a mother.
With his shy five-year-old daughter in tow, divorced elitist lawyer Spencer Randolph Masterson has anything but romance in mind. His goal on the MS Buckingham is to persuade his mother, Daisy, to leave her ridiculous cruise ship lifestyle and return to New Orleans. But Daisy isn’t interested in life on land. Besides, she and her matchmaking posse have a marriage to arrange.
When a secret from Daisy’s past surfaces and threats of blackmail start flying, the Shippers must protect their own while attempting to convince Spencer’s scarred heart to weigh anchor and boldly set sail for a future with Abby.
“Inspirational romance readers will relish every cozy moment they spend with the Shippers!”
—Bethany Turner, author of Cole and Laila Are Just Friends

"Who was this woman?"
Abby O'Brien has a magic touch with children; her sweet disposition, positive attitude and high energy level is contagious, making her the perfect candidate for summer employment aboard Monarch Cruises. There is one thing however that Abby doesn't have, a husband. Consenting to work with the "Shippers", a group of four septuagenarian matchmakers who actually claim residence on the ship, Abby entertains high hopes for her summer.
Welcome aboard tall, dark, handsome and exceptionally broody recently divorced attorney Spencer Randolph Masterson and his young daughter Daisy. Spencer is there with one goal in mind, to convince his mother (one of the aforementioned members of the matchmakers) to come home. That mission is completely interrupted by a cheerful flame haired princess with a gigantic heart for lonely little girls, Abby.
Fans of comedic opposites attract tropes, this is your story! Button down the hatches, the romantic waves get pretty choppy, and of course, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again!
