Margot is That Girl – she's built her online audience from scratch and though her life looks perfect on screen, her influencing supports her family's dying B&B.
Theo is seen as a nepo baby – but photography is his ticket to escaping his billionaire father's control, and the damage he has done to the local community – including Margot's family.
When they are both chosen to represent a luxury hotel chain on a global tour, they instantly clash. But as they travel together – from the markets of Hong Kong to the Austrian slopes – they realise that their online personas might be just that.
Who is the real person behind the screen? And what would happen if they switch off and just lived in the moment?
Turn on aeroplane mode and dive into this swoony summer romance – expect to read:
- Enemies to lovers romance

Marnie's really messed up this time - expelled and forced to change schools, the only empty seat in Marnie's new school is next to Zed, a neuro-diverse nerd with zero tolerance for mistakes. Marnie (skilled at art and Spanish, struggles with numbers) can't wait to lose her virginity. Zed (brilliant at maths and physics, loathes languages) is a loner who can't stand being touched. They couldn't be less alike, but they both need good grades in the subjects they hate.
What starts as a trade in tuition turns into an unlikely friendship - and after Marnie has sex with a boy who lies about using a condom, she needs Zed's help to make the hardest decision of her life."
