For readers who love forced-proximity, enemies-to-lovers, and grumpy/sunshine romances that also pack an emotional punch.

Fans of books by Sophie Kinsella and Sally Thorne.


Gemma is the maid of honor, but her intentions are anything but honorable. After years of watching the bride get everything she worked for, losing her promotion on the eve of the wedding is the last straw. Armed with an incriminating video from the hen party, Gemma's plan to finally get even is in motion: she's going to stop this wedding.

Leon thinks his sister is making a huge mistake getting married. Colossal. The groom is rude and uptight, and he's turned his sister into someone unrecognizable. If he could just get her alone for one quick, honest conversation, he's sure he could save her from making the biggest mistake of her life. He has to stop this wedding.

Francesca and the groom have been close for years and once shared a perfect night together—until he met the bride-to-be. But she's convinced he still loves her; that he's the “one that got away.” This is her last chance to finally confess her love for him, or risk losing him forever. She must stop this wedding.

When bad weather grounds their flight, the trio meet. Faced with a ten-hour layover and nothing to do but get to know one another, it’s not long before their plans are revealed. Ten hours should be more than enough time to figure out how to get what they all want, or to change their minds—and their lives—completely.
Beth Reekles is the author of bestselling YA series The Kissing Booth (a hit trilogy on Netflix) alongside several other rom-com novels, including the adult novels Lockdown on London Lane, Faking It, and The Reunion. A self-confessed nerd and rom-com fan, she is now a full-time author and shares movie reviews on her Instagram.
