Libby is determined to stay on her no-man fast: no more romance, no more cheating men, no more heartbreak. But in the city of love there is no escaping fate A hilarious and heartfelt romantic comedy from bestselling Wiradyuri author, Anita Heiss.

Libby has given up on romance. After all, she has her three best girlfriends and two cats to keep her company at night and her high-powered job at the National Aboriginal Gallery in Canberra to occupy her day isn't that enough

But when fate gives Libby the chance to work in Paris at the Muse duQuai Branly, she's thrown out of her comfort zone and into a city full of culture, fashion and love.

Surrounded by thousands of gorgeous men, cute baristas and smooth-tongued lotharios, romance has suddenly become a lot more tempting.

And as if life wasn't hard enough, there's a chauvinist colleague at the Muse who seems determined to destroy Libby's exhibition in every way he can. Then there's Libby's new friend Sorina, a young Romanian, desperate to escape deportation. Libby must save her job and save her friend, but can she save herself from a broken heart
