The Setup

Description

She has a plan . . . Fate has other ideas.

There are two men in my life. But this is not a love triangle.

Mara Williams reads her horoscope every day - but she wasn't expecting to be in a whole other country when destiny finally found her. Just as a fortune teller reveals that her true love is about to arrive, a gorgeous stranger literally walks into her life. And now Mara is determined to bring them together again . . . Surely even fate needs a nudge in the right direction sometimes?

But while Mara is getting ready for 'the one', the universe intervenes. Her new flatmate Ash is funny, and kind, and sexy as hell . . . There was no predicting this - it's as if her destiny just arrived on her doorstep.

So will Mara put her destiny in fate's hands - and finally trust herself to reach for the stars?

The Setup by Lizzy Dent is a captivating journey of self-discovery and unexpected love that will keep you hoping and smiling until the very end.
