From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie
Kinsella comes an irresistible story of love and empowerment
about a young woman with a complicated family, a handsome
man who might be “the one,” and an IOU that changes
everything.
Fixie Farr has always lived by her father’s motto: “Family
first.” And since her dad passed away, leaving his charming
housewares store in the hands of his wife and children,
Fixie spends all her time picking up the slack from her
siblings instead of striking out on her own. The way Fixie
sees it, if she doesn’t take care of her father’s legacy,
who will?
It’s simply not in Fixie’s nature to say no to people. So
when a handsome stranger in a coffee shop asks her to watch
his laptop for a moment, she not only agrees—she ends up
saving it from certain disaster. To thank Fixie for her
quick thinking, the computer’s owner, Sebastian, an
investment manager, scribbles an IOU on a coffee sleeve and
attaches his business card. Fixie laughs it off—she’d never
actually claim an IOU from a stranger. Would she?
But then Fixie’s childhood crush, Ryan, comes back into her
life, and his lack of a profession pushes all of Fixie’s
buttons. As always, she wants nothing for herself—but she’d
love Seb to give Ryan a job. No sooner has Seb agreed than
the tables are turned once more and a new series of IOUs
between Seb and Fixie—from small favors to life-changing
moments—ensues. Soon Fixie, Ms. Fixit for everyone else, is
torn between her family and the life she really wants. Does
she have the courage to take a stand? Will she finally grab
the life, and love, she really wants?
