K. L. Crear is a teenager trapped in the body of a much older woman (she’s still in denial). After decades spent in the grey-suited world of banking, the Civil Service, and property management, she somehow found herself bankrupt, baffled, but never bitter. Armed with an often inappropriate sense of humour and a well-timed expletive, she has survived two rounds with the Big C, countless sticky situations, and every *Real Housewives* franchise (purely for research, of course). After years of procrastination—and a gentle shove from Father Time—she finally swapped a pint of pinot for a pen. She now writes laugh-out-loud women’s fiction, with a couple of memoirs under her belt too. She dreams of owning a permanently cheerful axolotl but recently declined the chance to hug a sloth (because clinging to a tree while peeing on yourself is not aspirational). A proud Yorkshire lass now living in a quiet corner of the Northeast, she shares her home with her endlessly patient, slightly deaf husband and their rescue cat, Pickle—who has a resting bitch face to rival any Real Housewife. K. L. Crear donates a portion of book sales to charities close to her heart, including Women’s Aid, Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, Epilepsy Society, and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Life isn't a billionaire romance. It's bad dates, big laughs and women finding themselves. Lila loves to have fun. Free and in her late forties she enjoys the thrill of dating younger men, no strings attached just plenty of good times. So why then has the dating scene lost its sparkle? The thrill has gone, and she would much rather have a night out with her girlfriends or a night in alone enjoying a good film and an even better bottle of wine. Enter Seb, her dependable workmate who’s been patiently waiting in the wings, his affection for Lila evident to the world. To Lila, a relationship with Seb seems as likely as finding a calorie-free cream cake – his style is questionable, and he’s just too safe and dependable, a genuinely nice guy but maybe just too nice for Lila. But then Seb does the unthinkable – he starts...
