Don't get mad. Get even.
Kate Whitaker has always believed in love, but when a stranger named Willem shows up on her doorstep, the news he has to share isn't as exciting as his god-like looks might suggest. He's come to tell her that Kate's fiancé is also engaged to his sister.
Kate doesn't know how she didn't see the red flags: Jon's work as an airline pilot having him flying around the globe, the postponed dates, the huge rock of an engagement ring that isn't her style at all.
Overcome with fury - and entranced by the Nordic god's piercing blue eyes and quiet allure - Kate agrees to accompany Willem to his hometown of Amsterdam to help break the news to his sister. Yet what begins as a simple gesture of support soon twists into a deliciously devious plan to get back at Jon.
Kate is drawn into a world of retribution, revenge and - unexpectedly - romance. Because sometimes the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else...
A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about broken trust, sweet revenge, and the surprising places we find love. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Emily Henry.
