A back-up plan between friends


But what do you do when you’ve fallen for your fallback?!

A brilliant new friends to lovers, opposites attract, romcom for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and One Day!
There is no rulebook for secretly falling in love with your best friend. So when Mitch offers Rosie a bargain that secretly gets her what she’s been pining for… Rosie would be a fool to say no, right?
They either find their soulmates by Christmas, or be each other’s fallback. Either way Rosie wins: she finds someone that will finally get her over Mitch, or she can be with him.
What she didn’t bargain for was Mitch falling for someone else…
Fallen for Emma and Dex? Then you need to meet Mitch and Rosie because they are captivating readers everywhere:
