Publisher's Synopsis

Laughs, love, office life.
And a little touch of magic .

From the bestselling author of LOOKING FOR ANDREW MCCARTHY and AMANDA'S WEDDING.

Faint heart never won fair lady.

Who knows how Arthur Pendleton ended up as a town planner? While his girlfriend is planning babies he can't even plan lunch. His kingdom is a small cubicle and a team of shambolic colleagues, including a dog called Sandwiches.

Until Gwyneth Morgan sweeps into his world. Ice-cool and gorgeous, she offers Arthur's office the chance to escape the humdrum and win Coventry a place on the world stage: as European City of Culture.

But Gwyneth secretly has her doubts about Arthur. Yes, he has deep brown eyes and a lovely smile, but can he really compete with his arch-enemy Ross, and the dashing Rafe, to seize the prize for his city - and to win her heart?

Laughs, love, office life.
And a little touch of magic .

Something magical has just entered Arthur Pendleton's dull life. Or rather someone magical - the gorgeous, clever, out-of-his-league, Gwyneth Morgan.

As the head of a team of management consultants, Gwyneth challenges Arthur and his motley crew of town planners to do the impossible - make Coventry the new European City of Culture. With Sven the computer geek, a stapler-eating dog, Cathy the world's most put-upon woman and The Temp (a temp) backing Arthur up, it looks like he has no chance of succeeding.

And then amazing things happen. Gwyneth seems to be interested in him. His team have good ideas. Disaster no longer seems certain.

But the quest to win the heart of the enchanting Gwyneth has a long way to go. And it might really be impossible to make Coventry interesting
