'A hilarious and modern Cinderella story that feels like eating warm chocolate cake' - Talia
Hibbert author of Get a Life Chloe Brown Finding love was not the only goal . . . When
grumpy ex-footballer Alfie Harding gets badgered into selling his memoirs he knows he's never
going to be able to write them. He hates revealing a single thing about himself is allergic to
most emotions and can't imagine doing a good job of putting pen to paper. And so in walks
curvy cheery cute-as-hell ghostwriter Mabel Willicker who knows just how to sunshine and
sass her way into getting every little detail out of Alfie. They banter and bicker their way to
writing his life story both of them sure they'll never be anything other than at odds. But
after their business arrangement is mistaken for a budding romance the pair have to pretend to
be an item to satisfy a public ravenous for more of this Cinderella story. And now they have to
decide: is their fake relationship all for show or something so real it might just give them
their fairy-tale ending? A steamy opposites-attract romance with undeniable chemistry
between a grumpy retired footballer and his fabulous and very sunshine-y ghostwriter. For fans
of Ted Lasso and Tessa Bailey. 'Alfie's Roy Kent-inspired voice is a triumph - and very
very funny - but sex is where Stein really shines. This children is how the professionals do
it. Not a rote list of parts and positions but a physical flow between two people. It's the
difference between seeing choreography laid out in footprints on the floor and being swept
away by the dance' - The New York Times
