Take a Chance on Me

An escapist and emotional opposites-attract romance - perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Beth O'Leary.

She likes to be in control.
Olivia Jackson's life is one big to-do list. But after her sister tragically dies and leaves her a ticket to go travelling, Olivia has to leave her perfectly ordered world - albeit with a meticulously organised itinerary.

He throws caution to the wind.
Jacob Green couldn't be more different. He's been travelling the world for five years and lets destiny decide where he goes next with a roll of some dice.

Do opposites really attract?
When the two first meet, Olivia finds Jacob's laid-back attitude infuriating. Not to mention her unanswered question as to why he's been travelling for so long without going back home. But as they part ways, she can't help but wish her carefully laid plans involved him.

Will fate bring them together again? And if it does, what secret is Jacob hiding?

About the Author

Emily Houghton is the author of BEFORE I SAW YOU. She is an Essex girl at heart but now spends most of her time between London and Suffolk. Emily worked in digital product management at Tesco and Barclays for seven years and it was during a sabbatical from work, travelling around India, that her first book was born; the first draft is still written on her phone! After a whirlwind few months, Emily quit her corporate job to live her dream of writing full-time. A true Gemini at heart, she's got many interests and is a trained spin and yoga teacher. She has a curiosity for life and has a passion for all things well-being, one day hoping to create her own retreat space with a lot of dogs! Her writing, whilst centering around love stories, often touches on deeper emotional themes such as self-love, healing and the power of finding yourself.
