Between Now and Disaster

Between Now and Disaster: An enemies to lovers, laugh-out-loud, rom-com with grumpy relatives, a love boat, and a dog rescue. (Loveable: Boston to Australia Book 1) That warm, fuzzy feeling is everything in a new relationship. Or not, in this case. When Olivia Johnson, chef from Boston, meets Australian Jack Miller, it's the start of a challenging situation. They're on the vast Nullarbor Plain, South Australia, in a dusty, dilapidated house. Jack's a hostage negotiator called in to navigate his way through a tense standoff. He's been told Olivia has poison on her mind and two old fishermen tied up in front of the TV. Olivia's been in Australia for three days. She's here to help resolve a quarrel for her uncle but nothing about this trip is going to plan. All she wants is to get outta here and back to Boston. Jack can't let anyone leave until he's got this sorted. He's holed up with a feisty American and two argumentative old men. But while Jack's working his way through the complications, his official interest in Olivia is beginning to look a lot like something else. And while Olivia would prefer to keep herself occupied with the deep fryer until a peace treaty is brokered, her focus isn't always on the French fries but on the man who doesn't do "feelings". Trapped in the middle of nowhere, with hearts on the line, can two opposites stop fighting long enough to realize they're perfect for each other? Or will their chance at forever love get fried in the final confrontation?
