What if the secret to finding true love on a dating app was meeting them IRL first?
In this witty and fun rom-com debut from Annabelle Slator, rival coworkers become reluctant daters after they're forced to work together on a brand-new dating app in hopes of winning a promotion-perfect for fans of Sally Thorne's The Hating Game.
Grace Hastings's dream job at the popular "true love" dating app, Fate, has turned into a nightmare. Her boss is a leech, her career is stagnating, and her fiancé has just brutally dumped her. Her hope for finding her own love story is waning, and she feels like a fraud for promoting a concept she no longer believes in. When the company's CEO offers her an opportunity to earn a big promotion, she resolves to fight her imposter syndrome to show she deserves a seat at the table.
The opportunity? To launch a brand-new app focusing on IRL dating and genuine connection.
The problem? She must develop and test-drive a series of "first dates" with the other person gunning for the job: notorious socialite playboy and Grace's biggest work rival, Eric Bancroft.
During their disastrous hikes, dangerous cooking classes, and steamy yoga sessions, they begin to realize their stark differences may just be surface level and Eric might just be the perfect person to challenge Grace's perceptions of love, dating culture, and self-worth.

"Slator makes her debut with a deliciously smart and fun rom-com that cheekily channels the dryly witty charm of Bridget Jones's Diary while also demonstrating her own mastery of snappy banter and sizzling sexual chemistry.
