Description

A hilarious and heart-warming romantic comedy that examines how the unlikeliest of loves can bloom in well, the most likely of places. Perfect for fans of The Hating Game and The Spanish Love Deception.

When Cece James agrees to be cast as a Juliet on the next season of the hit television show Marry Me, Juliet, its certainly not for the right reasons. Shes knee deep in debt and desperate for the associated paycheck. The last thing on her mind is the hunky Romeo waiting for her at the end of the gravel driveway.

But Dylan Jayasinghe Mellor isnt your usual fame-hungry TV star. An Olympic gold medallist with calloused hands, kind eyes and a propensity for panic attacks, it turns out hes not here for the right reasons either. As spokesperson for a mens mental health foundation, and the franchises first non-white male lead, Dylans got a charity to plug and something to prove.

When Cece gets eliminated on the first night, it seems like her and Dylans awkward first meeting will be their last conversation. But when the TV set is shut down unexpectedly, Cece and Dylan suddenly get a little more time together than theyd expected.

Will love bloom when the cameras stop rolling

Her PhD was awarded by Macquarie University in 2015, and she is currently a lecturer in Writing and Literature at Deakin University in Melbourne. Her academic work focuses on the history of love, sex, women and girls, popular culture and fiction. It means that reading romance novels and watching The Bachelor is technically work for her.

She is the author Here for the Right Reasons, as well as young adult novels Valentine, Ironheart and Misrule.
