Nicki Jamali, a thirty-something woman living in Brighton, is always searching online for her next hook up.
Seventeen-year-old Amber Cox is equally lost, and in a last-ditch attempt to win back her friends' approval, creates a fake dating profile for 'Kevin', a man in his thirties. She has no idea what she is getting herself in to.

The cover for Jo Thomas' new Christmas novel, Countdown to Christmas, was revealed over the weekend:
 |
Chloe can't wait for Christmas . . . to be over! Her son Ruben is staying with his dad this year and Chloe is planning to ignore the holidays all together. Her only nod to the season is the advent calendar Ruben left her, to help count down the days till he's home again.
But then an heir hunter gets in touch, telling her there's a plot of land in Canada she may be entitled to. Surely, it's a scam. Or could it be just the escape she needs right now? They're offering to pay for her flights . . . and Ruben's latest note in the advent calendar tells her to 'say yes!'
Suddenly, Chloe's new countdown to Christmas involves a log cabin in the middle of a snowy forest, a community that's worried for its future, a gruff lumberjack who gives her butterflies and a lot of pancakes with maple syrup . . .
This Christmas is full of surprises!
The book will be released in eBook in September, and the following month in paperback.
