Orion Publishing Co Couples Retreat: The perfect enemies-to-lovers, escapist romcom for 2026

Beach Read meets The Proposal in this gorgeously escapist and wonderfully bookish romcom with the perfect mix of enemies-to-lovers and spice. 'Really fun read. Scarlett and Theo have SO much chemistry' 'A real page turner. Loved it' 'Scarlett and Theo's electric chemistry leaps off the pages' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Two writers. One pressing deadline. No time for romance... Scarlett and Theo have one bestselling novel to their names: the psychological thriller they wrote together years ago. None of the books they've written separately have sold anywhere near as well... Now at risk of being dropped by their respective publishers, their agent tells them that working together is the only way to save their careers and sends them off on a writers' retreat in the south of France. It wouldn't be the worst way to spend a summer--except that they've accidentally been booked on a couples retreat instead, and spending so much time together stirs up some very inconvenient feelings! With their careers on the line and a pressing deadline, romance is the last thing on their minds... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Your favourite authors love Lorraine Brown 'The ultimate escapist romance with relatable characters and a perfectly executed enemies to lovers romance at the heart of it.
