JUST ONE KISS is Book #1 in a charming new romantic comedy series by bestselling author Sophie Love, whose books have received over 5,000 five-star reviews.


Emma Gold, a high-powered advertising exec from Los Angeles, is used to being in control of her life. She squashed her dreams of being an artist in order to get ahead, and she turned a blind eye to who her husband really was.


But now, with everything falling apart, she realizes there might be more to life.


When Emma is beckoned to visit her aunt, a funny and feisty elderly woman who smokes cigars, drives race cars and owns a massive, crumbling house in a beautiful, quaint seaside town, Emma thinks she is just coming for a weekend. Little does she know her life is about to change.


With her sister living nearby and her aunt needing to move out, Emma wonders if maybe the idea is not so crazy. And when she meets the local antiques dealer, she even has to wonder if there might just be a second chance at love awaiting her.


But Emma is new to renovation, to running a B&B, to dealing with a local zoning board—and to dealing with a distant, hostile relative who wants the house for himself and who will do anything he can to stop her. In a series of laugh-out-loud events, Emma learns that, sometimes, we have to let go of control.


And, sometimes, a new love—and a new life—might just be waiting around the corner.


Can a weekend become a lifetime?


JUST ONE KISS is book #1 in the debut of a funny and dazzling new sweet romance series that will make you laugh, make you cry, will keep you turning pages late into the night—and will make you fall in love with clean romance all over again.


“The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining.”
