Summary

Bloomsbury presents The Love Contract by Steph Vizard, read by Hannah Fredericksen.

Can she (pretend to) love her neighbour?

I didn't know the guy next door. And given he was now my daughter's nanny and my fake boyfriend, I needed to find out.

Single mum Zoe had the parenting thing all figured out with little Hazel until a childcare drought derailed her plans to return to work. Enter Will, Zoe's nemesis and frustratingly handsome neighbour. When Will's boss mistakenly assumes Will is Hazel's father and insists he take parental leave, it seems like a simple white lie could get Zoe out of a jam and help Will to make partner at his law firm.

But life with an adorable toddler – and a growing attraction between Will and Zoe – is never as tidy as their agreement's bullet points and dry clauses suggest. As they get deeper into the lie, the lines between truth and fiction blur. But Zoe's hiding a secret and when it comes out, the consequences for all of them could be devastating.

Critic reviews

A witty, warm page-turner about love, friendship and the glorious chaos of new motherhood. We're officially Steph Vizard's biggest fans. (Ali Berg and Michelle Kalus, authors of The Book Ninja)
Crisp, sweet and delicate, The Love Contract is pure indulgence. Vizard's writing sucks you in and wrings you out. An ideal cosy weekend read. (Genevieve Novak, author of Crushing)
A delightful, heart-warming read that left me with all the feels. Steph Vizard's engaging writing and endearing characters had me jumping headfirst into the story. Adorable and realistic, this is an absolute gem of a rom-com. (Karina May, author of Duck à l'Orange for Breakfast)
