Crosstalk

Briddey is about to get exactly what she thinks she wants . . .

Briddey is a high-powered exec in the mobile phone industry, overseeing new products from concept (anything to beat the new apple phone) to delivery. And she works with her wonderful partner, Trent. Theyve been together for six magical weeks, in a whirlwind of flowers, dinners, laughter and now comes the icing on the cake: not a weekend away or a proposal but something even better. An EDD. A procedure which will let them sense each others feelings. Trent doesnt just want to tell her how much he loves her - he wants her to feel it.

Everything is perfect.

The trouble is, Briddey cant breathe a word of it to anyone (difficult, when the whole office is guessing) until shes had two minutes to call her family. And theyre hounding her about the latest family drama, but when they find out about the EDD - which they will - theyll drop everything to interrogate her. And it might just be easier to have the procedure now and explain later.

The race is on: not just for new, cutting-edge technology, but also for a shred of privacy in a public world and - for Briddey - a chance for love at the heart of it all.

This is a brilliant, heart-warming romantic comedy from one of the wittiest and wisest of our authors. Written with a light touch and a smile, were swept up in Briddeys romance - and into the difficulties of a world just one technological step away from our own, as technology and social media blur (or indeed remove) the line between personal and public.
