WHAT IF THE ONE YOU'RE MEANT TO LOVE . . . IS THE LAST PERSON YOU'D EVER EXPECT?
A spicy, Sapphic, enemies-to-lovers romcom from the queen of the meet-cute.
*****
Ash has met her perfect match.
So has CJ.
Unfortunately for them, it's the same man.
Mid-thirties and feeling the pressure, they're ready to fight for him. Even if it means sabotaging each other.
As Ash and CJ turn up on each other's dates, ruin one another's chances, and accidentally end up spending an awful lot of time together, their friends begin to wonder. Are they fighting over the same guy? Or are they fighting their feelings for each other . . . ?
