The Code of Love

From award-winning author, Katy Summers, comes another perfectly pitched romcom that will steal your heart away. Narrated by Stuart Martin (star of star of Miss Scarlet and The Duke) and Emily Atack (star of Rivals).

Sydnie De Grado’s a bonafide girlboss who isn’t looking to settle down; she’s been there, done that, twice. When her dad unexpectedly announces he’s selling their not-for-profit tech firm she’s torn between family loyalty and a suspicion that something isn’t right… especially as the deal hinges on a chatbot that’s not even ready for market yet.

But then Syd finds an unlikely ally in Nathaniel Caldwell, the quiet CEO at the company trying to buy them out.

Nate’s heir to a vast business empire and a title that will one day make him a Lord, but under his polished exterior lies someone very different. Forced to mask his autism and hide his creativity, Nate’s set aside his dreams of Broadway musicals to become the tech-savvy businessman his father demands.

As the deal gathers pace, it’s all-hands-on-deck to test the chatbot. When Syd and Nate take a road trip for a family business summit in the Scottish Highlands, an undeniable attraction sparks. But Nate doesn't do casual relationships, and Syd’s allergic to commitment, so there’s absolutely no danger of crossing any lines, right?

Under the pressure of a deal neither of them believes in, and parents who force them to be something they’re not, they each turn to the safety of the chatbot to bare their souls. But as the conversations grow deeper, the technology begins to feel eerily human – almost as if they’re not speaking to a bot but someone who really sees them…

Meddling families, corporate intrigue, and a romance for the ages, The Code of Love is the literary love child of You’ve Got Mail and Succession. Blending her trademark wit with emotional depth, Katy Summers delivers a whip-smart romantic comedy about ambition, authenticity, and finding love where you least expect it.
