The fake boyfriend plan was flawless... until he crashed her family holiday.
The Boyfriend Clause
Out March 2026 with Text Publishing
​
Sabrina’s new Melbourne cafe, her lifelong dream, is struggling—despite her exceptional baked goods and fabulous coffee.
Her love life isn’t faring much better—she just keeps dating the wrong kind of guy. But the boyfriend clause in her loan agreement requires her to be in a committed relationship or pay back the loan in its entirety.
​
That would mean losing the cafe.
​
What could be worse? Making up a fake boyfriend, and accidentally giving him the name of the rude and brooding famous writer in her apartment block, the one she wildly insulted when he moved in—that’s what!
​
And when that leads to the rude and brooding writer joining her rambunctious family on a trip to England and a charade of perfect romance, Sabrina finds herself navigating a whirlwind of contradictory emotions. Including an unignorable awareness of just how infuriatingly hot the insufferable writer is.
​
But as the boundaries blur, one question looms large: what, or who, is he writing about?​
A big-hearted romantic romp full of feeling, family and fun, The Boyfriend Clause is a book for everyone with a parent who's a little too well-intentioned.
