Jo Watson
Genre: Humor & Entertainment | Romance
FREE for a limited time
Some opposites attract; some rip each others clothes off. From the winner of the Harlequin and Wattpad ‘So You Think You Can Write’ contest comes the romantic comedy, After the Rain.
Stormy-Rain and Marcus are polar opposites: she’s a free-spirited, Tarot card reading, star sign obsessed, rainbow-haired hippie-slash-actress; he wears a suit and tie, and over-shines his already too-shiny shoes. She believes in ancient aliens, crystal healing and auras; he’s governed by law and logic, and doesn’t believe in Fate.
But Fate believes in them…
So what happens when their worlds collide and disaster strikes? When they’re thrown together under strange circumstances and embark on an epic road trip to catch a plane to a wedding a long way from home? The clock is ticking… and they are seriously ticking each other off. But they’re about to discover just how thin the line is between love and hate.
