Terrible Cruz

A novel that will make you fall in love, from the bestselling author of USA Today, Amazon, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal L. J. Shen!

A "hate to love" story with sparkling humor!

A novel about a journey with a guy who was given a second chance. They went on a cruise but ended up on a completely different ship alone with each other…

I would say that Doctor Cruz Costello is my sworn enemy. But that would mean admitting his existence.

He is the darling of the entire town. A famous quarterback in the past, now an amazing doctor.

I am the girl who works at a diner.

When Cruz's brother and my sister decided to get engaged, the Costello parents invited both families on a pre-wedding cruise. Only Cruz and I ended up on a different ship. Separate from everyone else.

And now imagine ten terrible, unbearable days at sea with a man I can't stand at all. But against the backdrop of the intoxicating breeze, the deepest secrets come to light, and I am left with only one question… Will I fall in love again?

"L. J. Shen's signature wit shines in this poignant novel about a journey with a guy who was given a second chance." — Kristy Marie, bestselling author
