I’m thrilled to share with you Plus One at Brighton Court, the second book of my Brighton Court series, exploring conflict and resolutions among neighbours in an older style apartment building.
Plus One at Brighton Court: The blurb
Jobless and dateless, teacher Angelica Martin is furious with Davey Carmichael, her annoying Brighton Court neighbor.
The hot baker keeps revving his motorbike outside her window before dawn.
Trouble is, Davey is exactly the man Angelica needs at the last minute – the perfect fake date to accompany her to her bossy sister’s Christmas event.
Davey dreams big and avoids commitment, earning the nickname of “Plus One” at Brighton Court.
“Sweet Ange” knocks Davey sideways with her insistence he confront his troubled past, and before long, Davey craves a real date with her.
Facing her own home truths, Ange must toughen up to win some work – fast.
What will it take for the newly empowered Ange to give Davey a real seat at her family table?
A fresh “enemies to lovers” tale about fake dates and next door neighbors, from feel-good fiction author Amber Jakeman.
