Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa Bailey is a compelling addition to the contemporary romance genre, brought to you by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker. This unique and sexy romantic comedy delves into the lives of Rosie and Dominic Vega, a young married couple whose rocky relationship is in desperate need of renovation.

Rosie and Dominic were once the epitome of the perfect couple. High school sweethearts turned best friends, they were madly in love. However, as the years have passed, the spark seems to have faded. Rosie now finds herself greeted by little more than a grunt from her ex-soldier husband every time she walks through the door. While Dom remains faithful and is a steadfast provider, the passionate and loving man Rosie fell for a decade ago feels like a distant memory.

Encouraged by her supportive girlfriends, Rosie decides it's time to take control of her life and pursue her long-held dream of opening a restaurant. But she also realises that she wants more from her marriage. Armed with renewed determination, she issues a challenge to her husband: three words, marriage boot camp.

Unexpectedly, Dominic agrees to relationship rehab, but with a twist even Rosie didn't expect: their counsellor is a weed-smoking hippie. The journey that follows is both hilarious and heartwarming as Dom confronts his emotions, facing sessions that include talking about feelings, sitting on pillows, communing with nature, and learning love languages. As the couple progresses through these seemingly ridiculous yet surprisingly effective exercises, they start to rebuild the trust and intimacy that first brought them together.

Just as Rosie and Dom begin to rediscover the strength of their relationship, a hidden secret emerges that threatens to undo all their hard work. Can their newly refurbished love withstand this unexpected challenge, or will it all come crumbling down?

“Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix rom-com.” —Entertainment Weekly
