Description

Don’t miss the hottest new fake-dating romance this year!

'A fabulous, fun and feel-good romance with all my favourite tropes. One perfect hero, one very relatable heroine, a wonderful supporting cast and some perfect settings make this an absolute must-read’ Kitty Wilson, The Love Experiment

‘A wonderful, warm and funny romance – I loved this new take on the fake dating trope and was rooting for Annika and Rav the whole time. I read it cover to cover in an afternoon’ Donna Aschroft, Summer in the Scottish Highlands

Love was never supposed to be part of the deal…

Independent and free-spirited Annika has no plans to settle down anytime soon… if only her parents felt the same way. But when her father unexpectedly falls ill, she’ll do anything to make things better. Even if it means suddenly blurting out she has a boyfriend.

The only issue is, he doesn’t exist.

Then, by chance, she bumps into handsome entrepreneur Rav, and she can’t believe her luck. He’s single, sworn off relationships and looking for a date to attend work events with. He’s the perfect solution to her troubles. Or is he?

Because there’s just one slight catch – he also happens to be her childhood nemesis.

It was only ever supposed to be a simple, temporary arrangement. Nothing more. Certainly love was never part of the terms and conditions. But Annika’s about to discover that some deals are made to be broken…
