Date Knight
'An enchanting blend of Olivia Dade's warmth and the adventurous spirit of A Knight's Tale, all wrapped up in a spicy romcom that left me grinning from ear to ear.'

And if you haven't read You've Got Chain Mail, it's available now.** Each book in the Roll for Romance series can be read as a standalone. A side quest he never saw coming... Phil Owen has it all figured out - or rather his character in his weekly role-playing game does. In real life? Not so much. When his best friend's sister Amy Evans returned home broken hearted six months ago, inviting her to join the game seemed like the kind thing to do. But now, all it's done is given her another way to drive him crazy, in more ways than one. Yet when an unwelcome character from Amy's past turns up in her present, Phil gets to play the hero in real life. His quest? Three months as Amy's fake boyfriend, and a chance to turn fantasy into reality...
