From the acclaimed author of The Wedding Forecast, loved by Shameless Book Club, comes a slow-burn, forced-proximity romance about a PA falling for her boss's son. Thirty-year-old Charlotte is working hard to reinvent herself after her career as a book editor went up in flames. She's moved to a coastal town and landed a new job as a personal assistant to well-known media personality Hillary Hobbs. Hillary is launching a writers festival, and Charlotte is determined to prove herself capable of meeting her boss's every need. When Hillary's son Xavier arrives in town, Charlotte has a new problem to solve. A one-time-bestselling author, Xavier hasn't written a word for years and now he's broken up with his girlfriend and has nowhere to live. Charlotte finds herself not only offering Xavier her spare room, but also promising Hillary she'll get his life back on track. But the more time Charlotte and Xavier spend together, the more an undeniable attraction develops, complicating everything... 'People Skills is everything you want in a rom-com! Bright, witty, full of zest, with characters to fall in love with. This is so much fun!' Amy Matthews 'Delicious catnip for readers obsessed with the book world and for everyone who needs a little heart flutter in their life.' Kate Mildenhall 'A sweet, warm, fun and funny slow burn that hits all the right spots.' Shailee Thompson 'Hilarious, heartbreaking and everything in between, Nina Kenwood has written an absolute gem.' Kimberley Allsopp
