Cover Story

The unputdownable, brilliant new novel from the Queen of Romcom.

Bel’s joined the Manchester office of a big national paper from her award-winning podcast. There are three of them– Bel, her relentlessly ambitious colleague Aaron, and a new intern. And when the intern turns out to be a thirty-something man called Connor, he and Bel get off on totally the wrong foot. She’s patronising, he’s hostile: it’s office war.

Then Bel gets a sniff at a really big story, Connor gets caught in the crossfire, and before they know it, they have to convince everyone they’re a couple – and a couple in love. If they mess up, the biggest story Bel will ever land will disappear, along with justice for its sources.

But as time goes on, who’s double crossing whom – and which feelings are real?
