What to expect

The BRAND NEW off-limits romance with forced proximity from MULTI-MILLION-COPY bestseller Portia MacIntosh, perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sally Thorne and Abby Jimenez 💖📖💞

✨ Tropes & Themes ✨ ✧Forced proximity 🤭 ✧Working together 💻 ✧Off-limits romance 👀 ✧ Rivals to lovers 😬 ✧ Jet set ✈️

It’s going to be a bumpy ride... 👀

Liberty’s just landed her dream job. The catch? It’s at Matcher, the dating app that ruined her life. After catching her boyfriend sending intimate pictures to everyone in a twenty mile radius, Liberty is struggling to get back into the dating game. Every man gives her the ick sooner or later.

Still, she’s having a great time travelling the world for work, until she’s assigned a secret mission: Travel to New York with her handsome and charming boss Jordan and swap out a contract from under his nose. It should be easy, but the more time Liberty spends with Jordan, the more she realises he might not be the bad boy she thought he was. But it turns out they’ve both got a lot to unpack, and Liberty still needs to complete her mission if she wants to keep her job - which means not breaking the one golden rule: do not fall for the boss!

A laugh-out-loud, rivals-to-lovers, working together, jet set romcom! A Lot to Unpack from Portia Macintosh
