What to expect

Emily Henry’s Happy Place meets My Big Fat Greek Wedding in this dazzling romance about a therapist who is an expert at relationships… just maybe not her own.

***

'I consumed it in one sitting. The voice was so bright and clear, the romance was exactly my catnip. I loved every minute of it!' CHRISTINA LAUREN

'Hot! Hot! Hot! I LOVED it!' HEIDI SWAIN

***

Couple’s therapist Nella Praxitelis knows all about love – in theory. In practice? Not so much. Especially after discovering her boyfriend’s been cheating… just hours before he planned to propose.

With her life in tatters, Nella moves back in with her Greek family, only for her little sister to announce she’s getting married… in three weeks. And the best man? Mark Marino, the OG bad boy – tall, brooding, and the older brother of Nella’s late first love. Also, he kinda hates her, but it’s okay because the feeling’s mutual.

As maid of honour, Nella is forced to team up with Mark for dance lessons, formal dinners, and a chaotic stag-and-hen trip to Cyprus. But underneath the barbs, undeniable chemistry simmers, pushing Nella to confront a choice: risk her heart again or stick to dealing with other people’s love lives.
