'Beth O'Leary is that rare, one-in-a-million talent who can make you laugh, swoon, cry and ache all in the same book' Emily Henry
They'll do anything to save the hotel, except work together . . .
Welcome to Forest Manor Hotel, where the staff and guests are one happy family. Except for Izzy and Lucas - bitter rivals banned from working the same shift, for everyone's sake.
After struggling for years, the hotel may soon have to close its doors forever. But when Izzy returns a guest's lost wedding ring, the reward convinces management this might fix everything. With four rings still sitting in lost property, Izzy and Lucas are forced to work together to try to save the day.
But as their rivalry becomes something much more complicated, Izzy and Lucas start to wonder if there's more at stake here than the hotel's future . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
O'Leary returns (after The No-Show) with a humorous and poignant rom-com set at a boutique hotel in southern England. Concierges Izzy and Lucas can't stand each other after a miscommunication: the previous Christmas, Izzy sent Lucas a note confessing her romantic feelings and he, apparently, cruelly rejected her and kissed her roommate. However, they both care deeply about Forest Manor hotel, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. The owners want to raise extra money by selling everything in the lost property room and assign Izzy and Lucas to sort through it all. It seems like a hopeless proposition (boxes have labels like "tatty books" and "coats left behind in 2019")—until they come across five lost wedding rings. After Izzy gets one back to its rightful owner and receives a huge reward, the race is on to return the others. Exuberant Izzy and focused, somber Lucas have little in common on the surface, but O'Leary soon makes it clear how well they work together—and how deeply they need each other. Add in some charming supporting characters and stakes that feel high but believable, and the result is exactly the cute contemporary romp that O'Leary's fans have come to expect.
