What to expect

A laugh-out-loud, fake relationship romantic comedy from MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Portia MacIntosh.

What if your plus one could be the one...?

Cara has officially run out of men. Her most recent dates have gone from bad to worse, and when her dating app informs her there is no one left in her area to choose from, she is at a dead end.

But with a summer of events ahead of her, she needs to find a solution, fast; someone to keep her company at the never-ending weddings, family gatherings and gender reveal parties that she can’t face going to alone.

So when she meets handsome, confident, Millsy on a night out she may be in luck. They could not be more different in personality, but he too has a summer of events ahead and is desperate to get his family off his back about finding a ‘nice girl’.

What if they made a pact to help each other out and be a plus one for the summer? Just as friends, of course...?

Multi-million-copy besteller Portia MacIntosh's romantic comedies are guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
