'A real love story . . . This is a definite must read!' Reader review, 5 stars





A politician struggling with burnout meets the one person he can open up to. Then she does a Cinderella on him.

Divorced and newly diagnosed with chronic illness, Marnie has resigned herself to a lifetime of loneliness. Tea. Blankets. A remote cabin. But then she meets a charismatic politician who sees her for so much more than her illness. And he's not bad looking. Suddenly, Marnie feels like there might be more to her story.

Jason is a rising political superstar on a mission to fix New Zealand. He has big dreams. But at night, he can't even sleep. He's burnt out and losing his faith in politics. Then he meets Marnie. She's like no one he's ever met: sweet, smart, selfless, gorgeous. She doesn't even know it. But Jason's just got his fire back.

Then she vanishes.

And Jason realises that true love is worth fighting for, he just has to find her first . . .

Enni Amanda is a Finnish-New Zealand rom-com author who writes warm, funny love stories with big-hearted characters.

She immigrated from Finland to New Zealand in 2006 and promptly fell in love with the scenery, the people, and the strange thrill of not having to defrost a car every morning.

These days she lives in the Waikato (close to the rolling hills of the Shire), raising two energetic boys, designing things, and writing books while heroically avoiding housework.
