The Love of My Afterlife

‘This book has it all. Humor, heart, and a heroine I was desperately rooting for. Kirsty Greenwood has a new fan!’ - Colleen Hoover, bestselling author of It Ends With Us 
 
_______________ 
 If she wasn’t dead already, Delphie would be dying of embarrassment. She’s entered the afterlife wearing the sort of pyjamas you don’t want anyone to see and finds herself face-to-face with the most handsome man she’s ever encountered. And he’s smiling at her. 
 
As they start to chat, everything else becomes background noise – until someone comes running out of a door, yelling something about a huge mistake, and sends the dreamy stranger back down to earth. 
 
In a twist of fate, Delphie is offered a deal in which she can return to her previous life and reconnect with the mysterious man she’s sure is her soulmate. 
 
The challenge? She only has ten days to find him. 
 
Ten days to make him fall for her. 
 
Oh, and he has no recollection of them ever having met…

Kirsty Greenwood

I adored it. Kirsty is one of the smartest, funniest and most compelling writers in the world, and I was utterly swept away by Romantic Hero. It's a truly beautiful, special book, and I will be telling everyone I know to buy it.

Lucy Vine, bestselling author of Book Boyfriend

Romantic Hero is a joyful, playful, big-hearted swoon of a novel. Laugh-out-loud funny and knee-tremblingly sexy, it made me feel all my feelings, and I never wanted it to end. A total delight.

Kirsty has done it again, a total rom-com triumph! I laughed, I cried, I swooned! Five magical stars ??

Josie Silver, New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December,

Gertie Bickerstaff writes happily-ever-afters for a living… or she did, until her own love life fell apart. Now her ex is thriving, her deadline is looming, and she can’t write a single word. 
 
The last thing Gertie needs is more drama—like waking up to find a confused and rugged cowboy on her sofa. And not just any cowboy, but River Oakley, the villain from her unfinished novel. Somehow very real… and very shirtless. 
 
River wants to go home. Gertie wants her life back. So they strike a deal: he’ll use his cunning ways to help her win back her ex, she’ll finish the novel, and surely, he’ll return to whatever world he rode in from. 
 
But as River Oakley proves to be so much more than just the bad guy, Gertie has to choose: the ending she thought she wanted… or the plot twist she never saw coming.
