THE LATEST FEEL GOOD ROM-COM FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE ROM-COMMERS
'The Love Haters made me laugh out loud and escape, just as her novels always do'
JODI PICOULT
Video producer Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past-now she may be lighting her career on fire. But her luck seems to change at last when her coworker Cole offers her a last-chance job filming Tom 'Hutch' Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West.
There are only two problems:
1. Katie can't swim-but she lies to Hutch that she can to get the job.
2. Cole is Hutch's brother. And they don't get along.
Next stop - paradise!
But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch and his eccentric family, she realises she's not the only who's been let down by love before.
Cue swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses - along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.

PRAISE FOR NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER KATHERINE CENTER
'Katherine Center crafts rom-coms with pure unvarnished delight' CHRISTINA LAUREN, #1 bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners
'My perfect 10 of a book. As funny and sweet as all the very best nineties rom-coms, but with Center's signature heart-tugging depth. I wish I could erase it from my mind just to read it again for the first time. A shot of pure joy.'
EMILY HENRY, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers
'Serious Nora Ephron vibes.'
TAYLOR JENKINS REID, #1 bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A documentary unites two people who are jaded about love in the sparkling latest from bestseller Center (The Rom-Commers). Fearing impending layoffs, Texas-based videographer Katie Vaughn gamely agrees to an assignment from her supervisor, Cole Hutcheson, to fly to Key West to film a profile of his brother, Hutch, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. The assignment is complicated both by Katie's inability to swim, which she failed to disclose to her boss and which makes joining Hutch on rescues impossible, and by her intense attraction to her subject, who, like her, has been burned by romance. The pair grow closer as both open up about their pasts, but their budding romance is forestalled when Cole shows up and ropes a reluctant Katie into a fake dating scheme. Add in the threat of a severe hurricane, and Center builds to a dramatic grand finale. She also surrounds her lovers with a colorful supporting cast, including Hutch and Cole's Aunt Rue, who's on a mission to add color to Katie's dull wardrobe, and Great Dane George Bailey, who smothers Katie with affection. Striking a perfect balance of comedic moments and emotional authenticity, this may be Center's best yet.
