Romance with laughter
Do you believe in happily-ever-after, even when getting there involves a few wrong turns, disastrous dates, questionable decisions, and the occasional romantic complication?
The Love on the Run books are for readers who enjoy lighthearted romantic comedy, relatable heroines, unexpected encounters, and the wonderfully messy business of falling in love. If you love stories filled with humour, friendship, travel, second chances, and a little self-discovery along the way, you'll feel right at home.
With a touch of the humour and romantic mishaps that readers love in Bridget Jones's Diary, these standalone novels follow people who may not have their love lives quite figured out, but are discovering that sometimes the best things happen when life refuses to follow the plan.
Because love rarely arrives on schedule. And sometimes, getting lost is exactly how you find it.
The Plus One by L.L. Abbott
Two bad dates, a wedding invitation from her ex-husband, and a weekend in France she never saw coming.
Kenzie Davis has spent seven years trying to get her love life back on track. At thirty-one, she's got a great job at a top New York fashion magazine, wonderful friends, and a Manhattan apartment she's still not entirely sure how she managed to land. What she doesn't have is much luck when it comes to dating.
After one too many disastrous encounters, Kenzie decides it's time to give up on finding love. That is, until an unexpected wedding invitation arrives from her ex-husband, complete with a request that sends her carefully organized life into a tailspin.
A trip to France brings old memories, new complications, and the possibility of romance when Kenzie least expects it. But before she can decide whether to trust someone new, she'll have to confront the mistakes and insecurities she's been carrying since her marriage ended.
With a little humour, a lot of romantic confusion, and a journey that takes her from New York to France, The Plus One is a fun, feel-good romantic comedy about second chances, taking risks, and learning to believe in yourself again.

The Love Trip by L.L. Abbott
A travel blog, a romantic ski resort, and one very reluctant traveller. What could possibly go wrong?
Ivy Saxe has built an online following as the creator of Love on the Run, a travel blog devoted to romantic destinations. There's just one small problem: the glamorous travel-loving image she's created for her readers isn't entirely the truth.
When the airline sponsoring her blog insists she visit a romantic ski resort in Lake Tahoe over the holidays, Ivy has little choice but to pack her bags. It's hardly the trip she's been dreaming of. A recent breakup, an approaching birthday, and a growing fear of travel have left her wishing she could simply stay home.
But from an unexpected disruption on her flight to an embarrassing encounter at the resort, Ivy's carefully planned review quickly goes off course. And when an unexpected revelation changes the way she sees the trip, she begins to wonder whether the experience she least wanted might be exactly what she needs.
A secret romantic at heart, Ivy may finally have found the love she's been writing about. But first, she'll have to stop standing in her own way.
The Love Trip is a lighthearted romantic comedy about unexpected adventures, fresh starts, and discovering that sometimes the best journeys take us somewhere we never intended to go.
