What makes love stick? Is it the irresistible spark when you lock eyes across a piazza in Rome? Is it feeling the earth move under your feet? (Wait—that was an actual earthquake.) In these six serendipitous short stories, bestselling authors turn improbable first encounters into hopelessly romantic happy ever afters.

Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman sit across from each other every day...and they hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. Lucy can't understand Joshua's joyless, uptight approach to his job and refusal to smile. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy's overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and desire to be liked. Now they're up for the same promotion, and Lucy, usually a determined people pleaser, has had enough: it's time to take him down. But as the tension between Lucy and Joshua reaches its boiling point, it's clear that the real battle has only just begun....

Ruthie Midona is 24 (going on 94), and fully committed to her job at a luxury retirement village. Keeping herself busy caring for the eccentric residents means that Ruthie can safely ignore her own life - what little there is of it. Teddy Prescott is practically allergic to a hard day's work. When he rocks up as the retirement village's newest employee, Ruthie is less than impressed. The last thing she needs is a distraction as irritating (and handsome) as this selfish, rich kid.

Darcy Barrett found her dream man at age eight - ever since, she's had to learn to settle for good enough. Having conducted a global survey of men, she can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that he's her twin brother's best friend - oh, and that 99 percent of the time, he hasn't seemed interested in her.

Rosie Whittaker and her sister are up for some Galentine’s pampering at a day spa. Getting locked inside a flotation tank is so Rosie. Enter a firefighter hero determined to pry this luckless pearl out of her high-tech shell. All Rosie has to go on is a dreamy voice and a flirty sense of humor. Remain calm, Rosie. This could be what you’ve been waiting for. Is this the man she’s waited for her whole life?

Clever, pretty (and odd), Angelika Frankenstein has run out of suitors. When assisting in her brother Victor's ground-breaking experiment to bring a reassembled man back to life, she realises that having an agreeable gentleman convalescing in the guest suite might be a chance to let a man get to know the real her. When the handsome scientific miracle sits up on the lab table, her hopes for an instant romantic connection are thrown into disarray. Named Will for the moment, he has amnesia and is solely focused on uncovering his true identity.

Una novela divertidísimamente sexi, inteligente y fresca, perfecta para reírte a carcajadas de las aburridas horas de oficina. Lucy Hutton y Joshua Templeman se odian. No es que se caigan mal, que no se entiendan o que no tengan feeling, no… simple y llanamente se ODIAN. Sí, en MAYÚSCULAS. Ambos comparten oficina en el gigante editorial Bexley & Gamin, y mientras Lucy es encantadora y servicial, viste de colores alegres y lleva los labios de un rojo chillón, Joshua es frío, eficiente y calculador, y viste una camisa concreta para cada día de la semana.

IL LIBRO DEL FILM DI SUCCESSO DISPONIBILE SU PRIME VIDEO. Odio e amore si assomigliano in modo inquietante. Lucy Hutton ambisce all'ufficio migliore (e relativa promozione). Per questo è servizievole e accomodante, lavoratrice indefessa ma carina e gentile con chiunque. E per questo tutti la amano. Tutti tranne il freddo, efficiente, impeccabile e fastidiosamente attraente Joshua Templeman. E il sentimento è reciproco.
