The ultimate enemies-to-lovers, fake dating summer romance from MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Portia Mac Intosh. Lara & Sonny are sworn enemies. As rival showbiz journalists, they are always out to get one-up on each other – whether being the first to scoop the latest celebrity gossip, or sabotaging a potential lead. So when their bosses ask them to join forces & go undercover at an exclusive celebrity retreat, they can’t think of anything worse – except that they are going to need to pretend to be in couples therapy to blend in… Being on a tropical island for work would be most people’s idea of heaven, but for Lara & Sonny it’s hell. Can a week of sun, sea & uncovering showbiz secrets together chip away at Lara & Sonny’s rivalry? & once they get home & the fake relationship is over, could a real one be left in its place?
