Book Synopsis

A witty, high-concept and spellbindingly charming romance by Lorelei Mathias. Fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk will love this unmissable book.

Sweet-natured Daisy, assistant at a large publishing house, has two wishes in life. One, to discover the ''next big thing'' in books and two, for her gorgeous, philandering boyfriend Miles to finally commit.

But soon work starts looking up. When the thoughtful and witty Elliot Thornton comes in for a temporary placement, Daisy quickly forms a close friendship with him. But she''d never want to leave Miles for him, would she? Then, one day, while glancing through her rejection pile, she comes across the intriguing first pages of a novel. With spine-tingling excitement she emails the mysterious author straightaway and as chapter by chapter slowly filter through to her, she becomes completely spellbound. But somehow, there''s something very familiar about the heroine and her story . . .
