'Beautiful, sexy, and escapist, DOLLY ALL THE TIME is my new favourite Annabel Monaghan book. I adored it!' - Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare
'A luminous story of love, duty and the tension between the two, Dolly All the Time is so beautifully rendered... I never wanted to leave' - Carley Fortune, bestselling author of Every Summer After
A hardworking single mom returns to her seaside hometown and stumbles into a fake dating situationship with a wealthy, workaholic scion, from the New York Times bestselling author of It's a Love Story
If they begin by pretending, can they end with something real?
Dolly Brick is a woman you can rely on. She's never met a problem she couldn't solve. Not when her mom left when she was ten, and not at thirty-nine when she returns to her hometown of Whitfield, Rhode Island to help her dad and brother from losing the family home.
So when she sees Stewart Whitfield – annoyingly handsome scion of the Whitfield family – with a flat tire and at the wrong end of a very public, very humiliating breakup, it's in her nature to help. But what Stewart asks of Dolly ends up being more than either of them bargained for. As public dinners and high society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and kisses that give her butterflies, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She's never relied on anyone besides herself, can she really start now?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Monaghan (It's a Love Story) takes on the fake-dating trope in this heartening summer romance. Single mom Dolly Brick returns to Whitfield, R.I., for a few weeks each summer to help her father at their family's business, the Brick Fish House. This year, after a fire breaks out in her childhood home, she agrees to stay longer to assist with cleanup. Hardworking Dolly reckons with her place in the family as she works with her father; cares for her brother, who has schizophrenia; and tries not to resent her more easygoing younger sister, Patsy. Meanwhile, Stewart Whitfield, the handsome but hapless heir to the famous, old-money family for whom the town is named, faces personal and professional challenges after a very public breakup with his fiancée. After Dolly helps Stewart with a flat tire, their photo is printed in the tabloids and he proposes a PR relationship to improve his public image, offering a hefty payout. Through fake-dating, the pair open up about their vulnerabilities and family struggles, strengthening their bond and boosting Dolly's confidence. Monaghan's sunny tale expertly balances the joy of falling in love with the realities of making difficult life decisions, dealing with anxieties, and managing stress. Throw this one in the beach bag.
