Overview

Laughs, love, office life.<br/>And a little touch of magic …<br/>From the bestselling author of LOOKING FOR ANDREW MCCARTHY and AMANDA'S WEDDING.<br/>Faint heart never won fair lady…<br/>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.<br/>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.<br/>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?<br/>Laughs, love, office life.<br/>And a little touch of magic …<br/>Something magical has just entered Arthur Pendleton's dull life. Or rather someone magical – the gorgeous, clever, out-of-his-league, Gwyneth Morgan.<br/>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.<br/>And then amazing things happen. Gwyneth seems to be interested in him. His team have good ideas. Disaster no longer seems certain.<br/>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
