Cassie's not looking for love. She's just doing it for the plot...
Cassie is looking for a man. She knows exactly what she doesn't want: no one with a podcast, more Instagram followers than her and definitely no one who is 'in between' jobs. It should be easy enough, but London's soul-crushing dating scene (and her dry spell) is making it harder than it should be...
So when Cassie comes across OuiMeet, an app for hiring escorts, she signs up as a laugh! Until she sees Jericho: smooth and sexy, he's just her type. Their chemistry in person is electric too and it's just a little bit of fun...right?
The rules of their arrangement are clear but there's just one problem: she's starting to fall for him...
Bridget Jones Diary meets The Wedding Date in this hilarious, witty and unputdownable romance about a woman who hires an escort after a string of bad dates and ends up falling for him.
