Happily Never After

A brand-new hilarious rom-com from the New York Times bestseller




Two love sceptics agree to work together as professional wedding disruptors. But fate has more romantic plans in mind for them . . .

When Sophie finds out before her wedding that her fiancé cheated again, she desperately employs the mysterious Max to yell 'I object' at the alter.

On the big day, Sophie sees a gorgeous stranger stand up and tell the entire congregation the truth about the cheating groom, blowing the ceremony apart.

Enjoying the thrill from the aftermath of being saved from her own wedding, Sophie agrees to work together with Max as a love-cynic duo.

When they're both hired for a wedding by a groom, who happens to be marrying the woman that broke Max's heart many years ago, Sophie sees Max wrestle with his feelings and is struck by her own jealousy.

This can only mean one thing . . .

Her love cynicism may be wearing off.

Filled with laugh-out-loud situations and moments of heart-fluttering swooniness, Mr. Wrong Number is a true romantic comedy. I loved reading about Olivia's messy, passionate approach to life. And the sexual tension was off the charts!
