Love Overdue

Lauren Green thinks her first love story is shelved for good—until life decides to write a surprise chapter. A sexy, quirky rom-com for fans of Emily Henry.

The last time Lauren Green saw Jamie Sultana, they were seventeen and he'd just shredded her heart like a bad first draft.


Back then, Lauren was a frizzy-haired bookworm who dreamed of becoming the next Margaret Atwood. Jamie was the impossibly charming boy who thought Margaret Atwood was a type of cheese. Still, they were hopelessly in love. Until, out of nowhere, they weren't.

Twenty years later, Lauren is the vice principal of North Caulfield Primary. She's buried her old heartache and big, bold writing dreams under a stack of responsibilities and big, bold colourful dresses.

So when she calls a meeting with notorious truant April Reidman's absent parents, the last person she expects to walk into her office is Jamie. Now, the scruffy teenager has morphed into an impeccably dressed Kit Harington lookalike - but there's no mistaking those dazzling blue eyes.

As if things couldn't get any worse, he's acting like he has no idea who she is!

Lauren's determined to quickly resolve April's behavioural issues and be done with Jamie for good, but the universe has other plans . . .

Steamy, laugh-out-loud funny, and delightfully nostalgic, Love Overdue is a bookish rom-com about first loves, second chances, and discovering how sometimes the best plot twists come along, well, after you think the final line's been written. View Less
