Sometimes your sensibilities make absolutely no sense!
Holly James is looking for her big break. A young journalist for BritTEEN magazine, she is dying to write about something more meaningful than pop stars and nail varnish. So when she spots a homeless teenager outside the office, she feels compelled to tell her story. But her evil boss Sasha has other ideas…
Holly is sent to interview a city solicitor she has never heard of. But Alex Barrington turns out to be the very opposite of fusty and boring and Holly’s interest struggles to stay strictly professional!
With Sasha sabotaging her every move, and her story about teens on the street leading her into London’s dark underworld, Holly is chasing both love and success at the same time. But happy endings like that only happen in books…don’t they?

KATIE OLIVER loves romantic comedies, characters who “meet cute“, Richard Curtis films, and Prosecco (not necessarily in that order). She currently resides in northern Virginia with her husband and three parakeets, in a rambling old house with uneven floors and a dining room that leaks when it rains.
Katie has been writing since she was eight, and has a box crammed with (mostly unfinished) novels to prove it. With her sons grown and gone, she decided to get serious and write more (and hopefully, better) stories. She even finishes most of them.
So if you like a bit of comedy with your romance, please visit Katie’s website, www.katieoliver.com, and have a look.
Here’s to love and all its complications…
To my editors, Lucy Gilmour and Helen Williams, for taking this book from ‘not bad’ all the way to ‘fabulous’; to my agent, Nikki Terpilowski, who believed in me and my stories right from the start; to my Twitter friends, for their numerous reTweets and mentions and follows and favourites; to my coworkers, who read the very first draft (and still liked it!); and lastly, to my dear, understanding, and very supportive husband, Mark. I couldn’t do it without you, Mr Oliver.
