If you’re after a smart, sharp, and totally satisfying read, Cover Story absolutely delivers. It’s got everything you want from a McFarlane novel—quick wit, emotional depth, and characters who feel like people you’ve met (or wish you had).
At the heart of the story, Bel and Connor, and spoiler – they hate each other. There’s an air of mystery here as they head undercover, with just enough suspense to keep those pages flying, but it never strays too far from the emotional honesty that makes Mhairi’s writing so special.
Expect brilliant dialogue, proper laugh-out-loud moments, and that warm, knowing touch she does so well when it comes to betrayal, friendship, love, and starting over. It’s romcom meets revenge meets redemption—and it’s glorious.
About the Book
Bel’s joined the tiny Manchester office of a national paper from her indie podcast.
Thirty-something Connor is going to back to the start as the new intern.
The latest office news? They can’t stand each other.
So of course Bel bumps into Connor when she’s working undercover on the biggest scoop of her career. And of course she’s forced to improvise, pretending they’re a couple. A couple deeply in love.
Two rivals. One fake romance. The headline writes itself…
