What to expect

A heartwarming romance about being true to yourself - can friends become lovers?

Tropes: ๐Ÿ’“ friends to lovers ๐Ÿก small town setting ๐Ÿ’Œ secrets from the past

One secret could change everything...

One New Yearโ€™s Eve, Georgie James and her friends come up with a genius plan to help them stick to their resolutionsโ€ฆ They all write down secrets, seal them in envelopes and then post them to each other. The secrets will be revealed at the end of the year if they havenโ€™t kept their resolutions.

Itโ€™s perfect. Exceptโ€ฆ

Georgie's secret is BIG... and revealing it could destroy their friendships. She has no idea why she chose that one to write down. There are plenty of innocent things she could have said โ€“ even admitting she finds newcomer Raf incredibly annoying would have been better.

What she does know is that thereโ€™s no way she can let her secret be revealed. Which means she needs to keep her (nightmare) resolutions and, most importantly, get her envelope back before anyone can open it. Which, given she sent her secret to Raf, means spending a lot more time with him than sheโ€™d choose to...

An absolutely gorgeous and heartwarming romance for fans of Beth Oโ€™Leary and Mhairi McFarlane
