A delightfully mortifying mix-up turns into a high-stakes game of seduction and witty banter.

What it feels like

This is the kind of breezy, high-energy romance that you devour in a single afternoon when you need a guaranteed smile. It kicks off with a deliciously awkward, trope-tastic premise and immediately leans into the snappy banter and simmering tension that follows. The mood is lighthearted and steamy, balancing the heroine's flustered defensive maneuvers with the hero's confident, playful pursuit. The prose is quick and dialogue-driven, keeping the pacing brisk and the emotional stakes entirely focused on the push-and-pull of their undeniable chemistry. It is a perfect escape for readers who love a classic mistaken-identity setup, where mortification quickly gives way to a fun, flirty battle of wills and a deeply satisfying, swoon-worthy surrender.

About the book

When film location scout Ellie Summers sneaks into a colleague's hotel room with seduction in mind, she's thrilled by her own daring!

But the smug morning-after glow morphs into red-faced mortification when she wakes in the arms of a total stranger! Ruben Theroux might be fine with the situation, but a flustered Ellie most definitely is not.

Ellie's only defence against this very attractive guy is to insist they're friends only--strictly no benefits! But Ruben isn't a successful businessman for nothing--they'll be good together, and he's happy to play dirty to get what he wants....
