The Girlfriend Clause

She didn't mean to insult her new boss. Or sleep with him. It's been a difficult week.

"Andrea and Liam's story is a captivating mix of emotion, humour, and heat"
—Marion Archer, Editor to Meghan Quinn, Christina Lauren, and Colleen Hoover

Andrea Jones does not have her life on lock. Her sister treats her flat like a serviced apartment, her cat has gum disease, and now, courtesy of an Uber Eats stakeout, she knows her boyfriend is cheating.

So. That’s fun.

The last thing she needs is to get stuck in a lift with a stranger who’s far too easy to talk to. Especially one with arms like that.

Not that she noticed.

But by the time she realizes who she’s been talking to, they’ve already crossed a line they can’t uncross. And she’s said far too much to a man who never bothered to tell her who he was.

Oops doesn’t cut it. Not when he’s just bought the company she works for. Not when he’s ruthless enough to cut roles without blinking. And definitely not when he’s the kind of man who looks at her like he’s still thinking about what they did in her flat.

One gate-crashed society event later and they’re trapped in a lie neither of them can afford to expose. But the longer they pretend, the harder it is to remember why they’re supposed to hate each other.

Because Liam Roth is many things—powerful, completely off-limits—but also unexpectedly kind, inconveniently protective, and far too good at getting under her skin.

The contract was supposed to make everything simple. It’s doing the opposite.

A fake relationship, a wedding in France, and a man she absolutely should not want?

Just. F***ing. Perfect.

A high-heat, enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating romantic comedy—and a billionaire who falls first.

If you like your romcoms feel-good, sharp, and a little bit dangerous—think Emily Henry and Abby Jimenez, with a bite of its own—you're in the right place. Set across London's high-stakes corporate world, Oxford's dreaming spires, and a wedding at a French château, The Girlfriend Clause is glamorous, funny, and painfully romantic, with a billionaire who's an actual human being, and banter that leaves a mark.

A standalone with a guaranteed happily-ever-after, and more to come in the series.
