About This Book
Opposites attract in international bestseller Mhairi McFarlane's new heartfelt, witty novel about a cautious rule-follower who calls off her engagement to "the perfect man" and moves in with a charismatic, risk-taking stranger...
Harriet Hatley may be the most in-demand wedding photographer in town, but she doesn't really believe in romance, loathes the idea of marriage, and thinks chocolate fountains are an abomination (granted, she'd never admit that to her clients). Which is why, when her long-time partner proposes, she panics. Suddenly Harriet is single… and living down the hall from her ex. She needs a new apartment, like, yesterday.
Enter Cal Clarke, a hopeless romantic who just experienced his own wedding-related disaster. Harriet and Cal are like chalk and cheese, but as they go from strangers to roommates to friends, it becomes clear that they're both running from something. Yet, the more time she spends with Cal, the more Harriet wants to step out of her comfort zone and shake up her careful, controlled life.
Except, she's kept too many secrets for far too long, and when the truth about her past finally surfaces, her world implodes. With her future on the line, Harriet must decide if she's ready to stop playing it safe… and maybe even risk it all for a chance at true love and real happiness.
