While covering up her lie, can they find something true?

A Woman’s World New Book from a Bestselling Romance Author A New York Post Most Anticipated Book of the Year A Book Bub Most Anticipated Book of the Year A Zibby Owens Most Anticipated Book of the Year “Annabel Monaghan has a direct line to my heart—and my funny bone. With It's a Love Story, she’s given us an enemies-to-lovers romcom that’s SO MUCH MORE. This is dopamine in book form. And don’t we all need that right now?” —Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of Summers at the Saint “[A] bingeable beachy contemporary . . . Monaghan mines a lot of joy out of [a] close-knit family dynamic and the scenic coastal setting, while creating a heroine readers will root for. This is an addictive romp.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)
