Meet Patrick Cooper - desperately down on his luck, and head-over-heels in unrequited love with his best friend Bridget. Meet Bridget's sister, Emma Donovan - eternally single maker-of-cakes for many a happy couple, whilst never making it down the aisle herself. Emma has four younger sisters, all of whom are married or getting married, and an Italian mother who can't understand what is 'wrong' with her eldest daughter, who seems to be stranded on the shelf. Despairing of her own ability to find a suitable husband, Emma agrees to be part of a compatibility project to get married at first sight. Meanwhile Cooper is struggling to get over his crush on Bridget and seems destined to stay firmly on the shelf too. Perhaps it's time his fate was taken out of his hands... Is happily-ever-after just about daring to take a chance, or do you need some extra magic to make love last? Join Beth Moran, Cooper and the Donovan sisters on this life-affirming and uplifting tale of love, family, friendship, and risking it all for happiness. Praise for Beth Moran: 'Life-affirming, joyful and tender.' Zoe Folbigg 'Every day is a perfect day to read this.' Shari Low 'A British author to watch.' Publisher's Weekly 'A wonderfully warm-hearted story full of love and laughter.' Victoria Connelly
