Meant to Be

A heart-warming romance about finding love in unexpected places

Summary

Love can happen when you least expect it . . .

After a spate of terrible boyfriends, Jess is sure she's found her perfect man in dependable - but occasionally dull - Tim. But when her grandmother, tasks her with retrieving a family heirloom from a local auction she finds herself face to face with a charming stranger, Guy.

Guy has already bought her grandmother's precious necklace and whilst Jess desperately tries to buy it back from him, he somehow convinces her to go out on a date instead.

Ridiculous. But Guy has the necklace and Jess's grandmother's health is declining rapidly. Jess has no choice but to indulge Guy and go on a date with - if only to get the necklace back.

Will saving the necklace risk disrupting Jess's happily-ever-after? And will she care if it does?
