The One Where They Fall in Love

'A tender portrait of New York and the imperfect people who call it home... a book for the romantics who demand their happy endings' - Ali Rosen, bestselling author of The Slow Burn

'Friends references, a New York Summer and a gorgeous tiny dog called Thor – what's not to love? It was a big hug in a book and I'm completely smitten!' - Carrie Elks, author of Strictly Business


You never know when love may come knocking...

Hopeless romantic and romance editor Elle Thompson lives for happy endings – but real-life love? Not so much. Still, she's totally thrilled when her best friend gets engaged. Really. Not jealous at all.

Meanwhile, Oliver Cole likes things a certain way. Schedules and routines and order. So when his move back to New York is disrupted by the addition of Thor – the dog his sister adopted before moving to Italy – he's less than delighted. Even less enthused? His neighbour, Elle.

When Elle can't bear to hear Thor howling all night, she and Oliver strike a deal: she'll dog-sit during his shifts. But their reluctant arrangement soon leads to late-night chats, undeniable chemistry, and two guarded hearts learning to open up. Could Elle and Oliver finally get their own happily ever after?
