Set against the lively backdrop of New York and the chaotic world of social media, their manufactured dates bring plenty of humor, tension, and opportunities for old feelings to resurface. Eva's guarded nature meets Rylie's persistent warmth, creating a black-cat and golden-retriever dynamic with plenty of sparks.

With witty dialogue, emotional vulnerability, and a steamy romance at its center, Well, Actually is a heartfelt, laugh-out-loud second-chance romance for readers who love complicated history, irresistible chemistry, and a hero determined to earn another chance.
