Sabrina’s new Melbourne cafe, her lifelong dream, is struggling—despite her exceptional baked goods and fabulous coffee. Her love life isn’t faring much better—she just keeps dating the wrong kind of guy. And time is running out on the boyfriend clause in the loan agreement she has with her parents: she must be in a committed relationship in a matter of months or pay back the loan in its entirety. And that would mean losing the cafe.
What could be worse? Making up a fake boyfriend, and accidentally giving him the name of the rude and brooding famous writer in her apartment block, the one she inadvertently insulted when he moved in—that’s what!
And when that leads to the rude and brooding writer joining her rambunctious family on a trip to England and a charade of perfect romance, Sabrina finds herself navigating a whirlwind of contradictory emotions. Including an unignorable awareness of just how infuriatingly hot the insufferable writer is. It’s surely only a matter of time before the boundary between what’s all show for her family and what might be a real romance starts to blur. That is, until Sabrina discovers what the man of her desires is writing about in his new novel.
The Boyfriend Clause is everything you want in a contemporary romance: a totally relatable heroine, a steamy love interest, an offbeat family holiday, delicious pastries and just enough spice to set your heart on fire.
