A sparkling fake-dating, one-bed, enemies-to-lovers Australian debut-hits all the commercial romcom notes with plenty of heart and a sense of fun!
'A big-hearted romantic romp full of feeling, family and fun.' Jodi McAlister
Sabrina's new Melbourne cafe, her lifelong dream, is struggling-despite her exceptional baked goods and fabulous coffee.
Her love life isn't faring much better-she just keeps dating the wrong kind of guy. But the boyfriend clause in her loan agreement requires her to be in a committed relationship or pay back the loan in its entirety.
That would mean losing the cafe.
What could be worse? Making up a fake boyfriend, and accidentally giving him the name of the rude and brooding famous writer in her apartment block, the one she wildly insulted when he moved in-that's what!
And when that leads to the rude and brooding writer joining her rambunctious family on a trip to England and a charade of perfect romance, Sabrina finds herself navigating a whirlwind of contradictory emotions. Including an unignorable awareness of just how infuriatingly hot the insufferable writer is.
But as the boundaries blur, one question looms large- what, or who, is he writing about?
The Boyfriend Clause is everything you could ask for in a contemporary romance- a totally relatable heroine, a steamy love interest, an offbeat family holiday, delicious pastries and just enough spice to set your heart on fire.
