Ten blind dates in four days. Number one was a raging alcoholic, number four still lived with his parents, number six was a gold digger, and number nine was a woman. Number ten, however, was Cedric Barlowe.

Saffron agreed to ten blind dates a month in hope that it would get her parents off her back. But of the bunch of weirdos her parents claimed were ‘absolutely perfect’ for her, the one to stand out–in all the wrong ways–was Cedric. He was self-centred, rude, obnoxious, and a borderline narcissist–the opposite of her type, but she can’t stop thinking about him. Perhaps that’s down to her seeing a few cracks in the walls he was determined to keep up, or running into each other at every chance encounter, thanks to their parents’ meddling, but Saffron finds herself growing fonder of Cedric than she’s willing to admit. Even to herself.
It appears there’s more to Cedric than expensive suits and talks of promotions. The more time they spend together, the more she sees the real Cedric. After a hot, electric kiss, they both know they can’t deny their feelings for each other any longer. But how are they supposed to give this enemies-to-lovers relationship a fair shot with their parents eagerly watching their every move like it’s their favourite reality TV show?
With her parents already in love with Cedric, Saffron knows it will have to be serious. The pressure for things to work out would be too much, and they feared it would destroy them before they even began. Agreeing to date in secret while keeping up the pretence of hating each other in the presence of others, they think they’ll stand a fair shot.
It goes great at first, until it doesn’t, and then everything spirals out of control.
