Tell me the story of how you two met. . .

Laura has built a career out of interviewing people about their epic real life love stories.

When she picks up the wrong suitcase at the airport, Laura wonders if this could be the start of something written in the stars.

From piano sheet-music to a battered copy of her favourite book, Laura finds in the bag evidence of everything she could hope for in a partner.

If Laura's job has taught her anything it is that when it comes to love, you cannot let opportunity pass you by. Now Laura is determined to track down the owner of the suitcase, and her own happy ending.

But what if fate has other ideas?

Just Haven't Met You Yet is a reminder that sometimes real life, with all its imperfect mess, is where we find our greatest love stories

I loved following Laura on her sometimes-disastrous capers around gorgeous-sounding Jersey and literally couldn't put it down. Exactly the sort of fun, pacy, beautifully-written romantic story I needed this summer. And it was VERY sexy.
