Yesterday they were just exes.
Today they're a writer and a publicist... on tour in Europe... for a month.
But why would that change anything between them?
*
When Andie lands her dream job as a senior book publicist, she's ready to take the world of New York publishing by storm.
Until her first day, when she discovers that her biggest author is Jack Carlson - the same Jack who ruined her life in university. Who she hasn't spoken to in five years. Who is not only still infuriatingly hot but incredibly successful. And whose campaign she definitely cannot mess up, if she wants to keep her job.
To make matters even worse, for a month, Andie will have to travel across Europe with the man who, if she were being totally honest, she'd like to hit with her car.
But she will not lose the opportunity of a lifetime because of Jack Carlson. One month on tour visiting some of the most romantic spots in Europe. Deep breath. She can do this.

Andie and Jack are such rich characters and the fabulous cities they visit are the ideal backdrop to their romance, ensuring that, despite the sensitively-handled theme of grief, Bad Publicity remains an escapist, uplifting read. I found Gillam's writing so evocative. I was particularly moved by the chess-playing scene in Paris; it was beautifully wrought and will stay with me for some time. -- Nicole Kennedy Heartfelt, relatable, fresh and oozing with intrigue, Bad Publicity ticks a lot of boxes.

At the one that makes you laugh. At the one that makes you yearn for second chances. Above all, it will tug at the string that makes you sigh and fall in love. -- Jeff Zentner, award-winning author of Colton Gentry's Third Act Full of bookish humour, Bad Publicity is a delightful enemies-to-lovers romance that will have readers holding their breath and rooting for Andie and Jack from page one! -- Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Iris Kelly Doesn't Date A poignant, utterly compelling story about battling demons and coming out the other side stronger and better able to love. -- Ashley Winstead, bestselling author of The Boyfriend Candidate The slow burn in this funny, sexy debut is downright decadent and the chemistry between Jack and Andie sizzles in all the best ways.
