The Love at Sea series takes Kate Stacy’s contemporary romance to the open water, with eight books all set aboard cruise ships and all published in 2022. The series is immediately recognizable for its punny titles, which play on the word “ship” throughout.
The cruise ship setting creates natural romantic tension by putting characters in close quarters with limited options for escape. Ship Happens kicks off the series, and subsequent entries like Ruin the Friendship and Abandon Ship explore different relationship dynamics, from friends-to-lovers to enemies-to-lovers. The confined setting and vacation atmosphere give each story a built-in sense of fun and urgency.
