THE FIRST RULE OF THE HEIST . . . DON'T FALL IN LOVE

Phil, never Philippa, is getting to breaking point with her dad and their mounting debts from his gambling problem. But when best friend and bad-influence Chaz offers a brazen solution - a heist of a rare orchid due to bloom for the first time in captivity - she obviously thinks he's joking.

Phil's mission is clear: infiltrate the renowned Felborough Botanic Gardens as a volunteer, befriend the employees for intel, and on the big day make it out with the orchid.

But falling head over heels for Lily, the grumpy head gardener's assistant, was not part of the plan, and as the heist approaches, Phil is faced with a dilemma: steal the orchid and break Lily's heart or risk losing everything . . .

LOVE CAN BE A STEAL . . .

Critic reviews

I really loved this warm, charming romcom debut
All stars
Most relevant
Hooked in by jeopardy of a planned heist, I enjoyed looking around the glasshouses and watching characters potter about their volunteering, as their storylines crossed each others paths and relationships emerged. Looking forward to reading any more of Eleanor’s work in the future!

A storied world I wanted to stay in!
