A Smart Girl's Guide to Second Chances

What happens when the man who broke your heart reappears just before your wedding?

The new romantic comedy from award-winning author Steph Vizard for fans of Beth O'Leary, Mhairi McFarlane, and Lizzy Dent.

To Do List

• Replace decapitated groom cake topper
• Complete twenty-page questionnaire for second-choice celebrant
• Break family curse
• Ignore ex-boyfriend / current client

Rebecca, a super-smart consultant, is determined to defy the family marriage curse, which claims no woman marries their first fiancé, and prove that Matt is The One.

Although the wedding planning lurches from one disaster to the next and she has to steer a major work project before the big day, Rebecca is sure she can stay on top of things. That is until Alex—the ex who dramatically broke her heart at Oxford University—reappears in the boardroom as her new client. How dare he still be as infuriatingly clever and hot as before? And since when did he start wearing shirts with collars?

As Rebecca's past and present collide, she realises her choices can't be resolved with a trusty pros and cons list, and she'll have to finally come to terms with the age-old question: head or heart?

A warm, laugh-out-loud funny second-chance romance by the award-winning author of The Love Contract.
