Description
The unputdownable, brilliant new novel from the Queen of Romcom.
Bel has joined the tiny Manchester office of a national paper from her indie podcast.
Thirty-something Connor is going back to the start as the new intern. The latest office news? They can’t stand each other.
So of course Bel bumps into Connor when she’s working undercover on the biggest scoop of her career. And of course, she’s forced to improvise, pretending they’re a couple. A couple deeply in love.
Two rivals. One fake romance. The headline writes itself…
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ A five-star read! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
This book is an absolute joy from start to finish. The chemistry between Bel and Connor is electric, and it’s impossible not to get sucked into their witty back-and-forth. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Mhairi McFarlane has done it again. At this point, I think I'd even love reading her shopping lists. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Cover Story is another winner. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
The characters are so well written and true to life… a joy to read. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Funny and gripping and, crucially, emotionally convincing. McFarlane's characters always feel like real people, and this book is no exception. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Dry humour, top friendships and a romantic story … loved it. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

About the Author
Mhairi was born in Scotland in 1976 and has been explaining how to pronounce her name ever since. (With a ‘V’, not an ‘M’. Yes, that’s us crazy Celts for you). She is based in Nottingham where she used to be a local journalist and now she’s a freelance writer and sometime-blogger, which we all know is code for messing about on Twitter. She likes drinking wine, eating food and obtaining clothes; all the impressive hobbies. Her best anecdotes involve dislocating her elbow tripping over a briefcase and a very bad flight to New York. She lives with a man and a cat.
