DESCRIPTION

A brand-new rom-com perfect for fans of love triangles and forced proximity
Set across Oxford and Melbourne, this is a warm, laugh-out-loud romance, perfect for fans of forced proximity and love triangles

What happens when the man who broke your heart reappears just before your wedding?

***

To Do List

1. Replace decapitated groom cake topper
2. Complete twenty-page questionnaire for second-choice celebrant
3. Break family curse
4. Ignore ex-boyfriend / current client

Rebecca, a super-smart consultant, is determined to defy the family marriage curse, which claims no woman marries their first fiancé, and prove that Matt is The One.

Although the wedding planning lurches from one disaster to the next and she has to steer a major work project before the big day, Rebecca is sure she can stay on top of things. That is until Alex – the ex who dramatically broke her heart at Oxford University – reappears in the boardroom as her new client. How dare he still be as infuriatingly clever and hot as before? And since when did he start wearing shirts with collars?

As Rebecca’s past and present collide, she realises her choices can’t be resolved with a trusty pros and cons list, and she’ll have to finally come to terms with the age-old question: head or heart?

Perfect for fans of:
Love triangles
Forced proximity

Praise for Steph Vizard:

'A sharp, swoonworthy, and deeply satisfying read that will keep you guessing—and turning the pages—until the very end.' - Natalie Murray

'Think Richard Curtis, via Melbourne, with a dash of Oxford glamour and lens-flared young love. This is a sparkling, cinematic and satisfying modern romance, deftly written.' - Clare Fletcher
