How To Kidnap A Fake Date By Effie Campbell

It’s going to be a killer of a good time…

Sweet Maggie Hamilton comes from a long line of people paid to professionally end lives.

Unfortunately, Maggie is a family failure.

Age? Twenty-nine. Kill count? A deeply embarrassing zero.

So when her father decides to marry her off to her psychotic ex at thirty to help her take over the family business, Maggie hatches a plan for the world’s worst fake relationship to buy some time.

Which is where broad-shouldered, bad-tempered, offensively attractive Roman Ellis comes in. Maggie’s neighbour, who is about as interested in her as he is in a slow, painful death.

But Maggie isn’t offering him a choice. With Roman tied to the passenger seat, she’s taking him as her plus one to her father’s second wedding in the Highlands.

All Maggie has to do is survive the week without dying, murdering anyone or letting anyone in a house of professional killers know that her serious long-term boyfriend is actually her hostage.

Unfortunately for her, Roman isn’t going to make it that easy.

A Million Meet Cutes By Ashley Reece

Christina has always wanted her movie-perfect meet cute. Surely this would mean he was The One?

So she is shocked and amazed when one day she has very own meet-cute – sadly, the guy is most definitely NOT The One.

Over the weeks that follow, Christina finds herself encountering meet-cutes everywhere she goes – but she is still single. Plus, she’s becoming fed up of getting tangled in dog leads (even if the dog owner is extremely handsome) and her car breaking down (even if the recovery guy is extremely handsome). Even when she is on a date, she has another meet-cute with a different guy.

What does it all mean and is this the way to find the perfect guy, or have her beloved romcom movies been lying to her all this time?
