What to expect
'Bursts and blooms with wit and humanity' BETTY CORRELLO
'I loved this warm, charming romcom' LILY LINDON
THE FIRST RULE OF THE HEIST . . . DON'T FALL IN LOVE
Phil, never Philippa, is getting to breaking point with her dad and their mounting debts from his gambling problem. But when best friend and bad-influence Chaz offers a brazen solution - a heist of a rare orchid due to bloom for the first time in captivity - she obviously thinks he's joking.
Phil's mission is clear: infiltrate the renowned Felborough Botanic Gardens as a volunteer, befriend the employees for intel, and on the big day make it out with the orchid.
But falling head over heels for Lily, the grumpy head gardener's assistant, was not part of the plan, and as the heist approaches, Phil is faced with a dilemma: steal the orchid and break Lily's heart or risk losing everything . . .
LOVE CAN BE A STEAL . . .
