Georgie Calloway knows exactly how a good love story should go. It's a shame nobody told her life.
After years hand-selling other people's novels in a beloved, faintly doomed London bookshop, Georgie talks her way into a job at one of the city's grandest literary agencies-and gives herself exactly one year to make something of her own unfinished story.
One year. How hard can it be?
Harder than she thought.
Particularly when there's Jack, the man she meets entirely by accident and can't seem to stop finding her way back to. No matter how strangely fated it all feels, Georgie knows she cannot let herself want him.
And then there's Tom: the maddeningly capable rival agent from the other side of a shared account, who keeps, somehow, ending up on hers.
Between impossible clients, an unfinished novel, a career she can't afford to lose and two men who were definitely not part of the plan, Georgie's carefully plotted new life is rapidly going off-script.
Because Georgie has always believed that if she works hard enough, she can earn the ending she wants.
She's about to discover that the best parts of life are rarely the ones you plan.
