KATIE OLIVER loves romantic comedies, characters who âmeet cuteâ, Richard Curtis films, and Prosecco (not necessarily in that order). She currently resides in northern Virginia with her husband and three parakeets, in a rambling old house with uneven floors and a dining room that leaks when it rains.
Katie has been writing since she was eight, and has a box crammed with (mostly unfinished) novels to prove it. With her sons grown and gone, she decided to get serious and write more (and hopefully, better) stories. She even finishes most of them.
So if you like a bit of comedy with your romance, please visit Katieâs website, www.katieoliver.com, and have a look.
Hereâs to love and all its complicationsâ¦
To my editors, Lucy Gilmour and Helen Williams, for taking this book from ânot badâ all the way to âfabulousâ; to my agent, Nikki Terpilowski, who believed in me and my stories right from the start; to my Twitter friends, for their numerous reTweets and mentions and follows and favourites; to my coworkers, who read the very first draft (and still liked it!); and lastly, to my dear, understanding, and very supportive husband, Mark. I couldnât do it without you, Mr Oliver.

The girl stepped down from the bus, clutching the strap of her rucksack tightly. The doors closed behind her with a gassy wheeze, and the N38 rumbled off towards Charing Cross Road, leaving her alone on the pavement.
She eyed the deserted street uncertainly.
