Best Laid Plans: The sizzling new forced proximity romance from Christy McKellen for 2025

A sizzling, only one bed set in paradise romance. Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Christina Lauren and Hannah Grace! 🌞💖 A holiday escape, with an unexpected plot twist!

Indigo Hughes has had enough. After spending her life taking care of everyone else, it’s about time she puts herself first. Especially since she’s been unceremoniously dumped. So, what better way to look after number one than a much-needed holiday alone on the Amalfi Coast. Fine food, stunning views and time to heal her wounded heart…bliss!

But arriving in paradise isn’t as serene as Indigo expects. The hotel has lost her booking…and that of very sexy stranger, Julien Moreaux. Both are enraged! But thankfully, there is one suite left in the resort, they’ll just have to share it until the problem can be fixed.

The man she must temporarily suite-share with is cynical, sexy and recently divorced—exactly the kind of man Indigo should avoid, but now has no choice! And as much as she tries to ignore it, there is an undeniable crackle of chemistry between them. All Indigo has to do is get through the next seven days. But it doesn’t take either of them long to realise, sometimes when the best-laid plans don’t go to plan, it can actually turn into fun!
