She's in it to win it. He's in it to win her. Don't miss the new secret identity, forbidden workplace romance, perfect for fans of The Hating Game and Ali Hazelwood.


Jess Cole’s rules for keeping it professional:


  • Do apply to a major investment competition to get funding for your game-changing women’s therapy app
  • Do stay laser focused on winning
  • Don’t apply under your brother’s name, however fed-up you are with the male dominated industry
  • Don’t hook up with a ridiculously hot man, Oliver, only to find out he works for the top investor running the competition
  • Do try your best to resist Oliver’s charm while hiding your real identity
  • Don’t fall for Oliver anyway…

Mixing business and pleasure has always been a dangerous strategy for Jess, but this time will the risk be worth the reward?

About Annabelle Slator

Annabelle Slator grew up writing stories in the depths of the British countryside. After achieving a degree in creative writing spent most of her late teens and early twenties writing social media and blog posts for start-ups and tech companies in London. Nowadays, if she isn't spending time writing, you can almost always find her obsessing over niche internet drama, practicing her fencing parry or mooching around vintage fairs and flea markets with her husband and two mini dachshunds, Gruffalo and Gryffin. The Launch Date is Annabelle's first book, inspired by her time working at the global dating app, Bumble.
