Hooked On You
Pre-order the next book from the author of Love Overboard now! Ore has (almost) landed her dream job as an investigative reporter for the New Yorker. There's only one catch - they'll only give her the job if she can get the scoop on working for the elusive billionaire Harrison Marigold. To write the article, she's got to spend two weeks on his luxury yacht off the coast of Australia, and convince the crew to spill the beans. Daniel has (almost) landed his dream job as captain of a super yacht down under. There's only one catch - he has to take one last job, chartering a yacht for an eccentric billionaire, and making sure an unfairly beautiful journalist doesn't distract his crew from their work. But making sure Ore doesn't sink his chances of staying on course by sea-ducing his crew turns into a much harder job than Daniel expected. Ore's also finding her assignment more difficult than she ever thought, thanks to the crew's loyalty to Captain Daniel, but also, the waves of attraction towards him that keep crashing over her. Readers love Ada's yacht romcoms! 'Wonderful. Read it!' NetGalley reviewer 'Perfect for reading by the pool or on the beach. A must read!' NetGalley reviewer 'Charming, witty and full of banter' NetGalley reviewer
