*** Available to pre-order now with a gorgeous bonus chapter exclusive to the paperback!***Her celebrity lifestyle might be his deal breaker, but his failure to protect her? That's hers . . . Deal Breaker is an enemies-to-lovers, brother's best friend, age-gap, grumpy/sunshine sports romance featuring family secrets, red carpet drama, and a grumpy hero who'll move heaven and earth to protect his sunshine girl - once he realizes she's been his all along, from internationally bestselling author Susie Tate. Everyone loves Poppy. She's pure sunshine vibes, and nobody is immune to her outrageous flirting. Nobody, that is, apart from her much older brother's best friend, former Scottish rugby star, Rory Wallace. The last thing Rory wants is a woman who represents everything he avoids: cameras, chaos and constant attention. The irony is that although Lady Poppy Sterling flirts with the world, the man she's had a crush on since childhood can't stand her. At least that's what he tells himself. It's only when Rory's betrayal leaves Poppy vulnerable to both paparazzi and predators that he realises too late what he stands to lose . . . Readers LOVE Susie Tate:'Top tier grovelling''An emotional rollercoaster''Literally couldn't put this down - and finished at 3.15am! Susie Tate writes terrific FMCs - vulnerable but with a core of strength''All the emotions, all the angst, all the cute moments''He is the perfect gonna-screw-up-and-need-to-grovel-to-save-his-life book boyfriend (but, like, don't date in real life)''I am so stingy with 5 star ratings but Susie knocks it out of the park''Susie is so clever with her writing of neurodiverse characters''Plenty of tension, heartache, humour, and steam'Content note: discussions of drink spiking and predatory behaviour.
