‘A voice to be reckoned with in romantic comedy’ Jen Comfort, author of What is Love? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Could finding herself in trouble… mean finding herself in love?
When PR exec Simone Stephens mistakes a real cop for a cosplay reveller at an immersive cinema experience, she finds herself in front of the judge and sentenced to volunteer at a local homeless shelter.
It’s about as far away as Simone can get from the slick, cynical world she normally inhabits, but after a rocky start that sees her embarrass herself time and again in front of gorgeous resident psychologist, Jasper, she finds her feet and begins to make a difference even she can be proud of.
She was sent here to atone, but is it possible that she might also find herself … and maybe even love in the process?

About the Author
Sal Thomas likes to string words together, hopefully in an amusing order. BBC Comedy once described her as 'that woman who keeps on sending us scripts'. She has performed as a stand-up, starred in an Edinburgh sketch show, tried her hand at film writing and sitcoms (all to zero financial acclaim) and finally settled on romcom novels as her genre of choice after realising the world can never have enough of the mirth-filled mushy stuff.
