An escapist and emotional opposites attract romance - perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Beth O'Leary.

She likes to be in control.
Olivia Jackson’s life is one big to-do list. But after her sister tragically dies and leaves her a ticket to go travelling, Olivia has to leave her perfectly ordered world – albeit with a meticulously organised itinerary.

He throws caution to the wind.
Jacob Green couldn’t be more different. He’s been travelling the world for five years and lets destiny decide where he goes next with a roll of some dice.

Do opposites really attract?
When the two first meet, Olivia finds Jacob’s laid-back attitude infuriating. Not to mention her unanswered question as to why he’s been travelling for so long without going back home. But as they part ways, she can’t help but wish her carefully laid plans involved him.

Will fate bring them together again? And if it does, what secret is Jacob hiding?

Praise for Take a Chance on Me

A gorgeous, escapist and gestating read, with a romance to make you swoon

Becky Hunter

Take a Chance on Me is equal parts heartwarming and heartwrenching, a delightful story of self-love and romance set against a brilliantly vivid travelling backdrop. Emily’s characters are packed full of heart and warmth

Beth Reekles

This was a gorgeous story, full of warmth and hope, with a twisty ending that kept me reading late into the night. The vibrancy and chaos of the setting were so beautifully described, too. I adored it!
