'This was a BEAUTIFUL love story. If you enjoyed The Flatshare, you
will love Lease on Love!' reader review 'I don't think I have ever
been in love with a book more than I am in love with Lease on Love'
reader review A fun, heart-warming light heated read. Highly
enjoyable, and I can't wait to see what the talented Falon comes up
with next' reader review Beach Read meets The Flatshare in this
warmly funny and delightfully sharp rom-com about a
down-on-her-luck young woman who turns an innocent mix-up between a
dating app and a roommate app into a new chance at love.
................................................................................
She wasn't looking for love until it landed on her doorstep.
Sadie's looking for a fresh start. After missing out on an overdue
promotion, she drunkenly re-opens a long-ignored dating app and,
two days later, finds herself on a date with Jack. Except it isn't
a date. Realizing that she mistakenly matched with Jack on a
roommate-finding app, Sadie prepares to make a hasty exit, only to
finally notice the gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone that Jack is
advertising . . . and the unbelievably cheap rent. Introverted Jack
doesn't know what to make of the talkative whirlwind in front of
him. But he offers Sadie his spare bedroom while she gets back on
her feet, and Sadie, recognizing that her dreams of starting her
own florist business might now finally be possible, accepts. As
Sadie's presence starts to turn the brownstone into a real home,
and Jack learns to come out of his shell, they both begin to wonder
if this accidental roommate arrangement is the best deal they ever
made.

are all worthy, we are all enough: we all deserve to be loved, not
just by others, but by ourselves too' Sarah Hogle, author of Twice
Shy and You Deserve Each Other 'Lease on Love was a delight on
every level. Ballard delivers a soft, sweet story with enough
shadows to make the happily ever after feel that much more

precious that seems out of reach!' Denise Williams, author of How
to Fail at Flirting 'Lease on Love is a crackling, compulsively
readable debut... I enjoyed every minute of it!' Suzanne Park,
author of Loathe at First Sight and So We Meet Again
