Grade-A Plot Hole

Grade-A Plot Hole is the first in the Slow Burn Summer contemporary romance duology from best-selling author, Emma Jackson, sure to have readers kicking their feet as sparks fly in the city that never sleeps.

Get ready for unrepentant banter and yearning in this heartfelt summer romance.

Stephen is on a very personal mission to find his father as per the wishes in their mother's will. But he has no idea where to start, not that he's going to tell anyone that...

When Elle, native New Yorker, daughter of a detective and desperate for a distraction from the novel she's been struggling to write, offers to help, it feels like the perfect solution.

Except the last time she spoke to Stephen he thought they'd be seeing the New Year in together and instead she stood him up and sold him out! Stephen's big enough and been around the block enough times to understand that all is fair in love and war, isn't he?

But when Stephen accepts her offer and they begin their search across the city, it soon becomes clear that the weather isn't the only thing that's heating up.

Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Tarah DeWitt and Carrie Elks

Book Two in the Slow Burn Summer duology, Should Have Seen That Coming, will conclude Stephen and Elle's romance (HEA guaranteed!) Due for release in summer 2026.
(Previously released as Summer in the City in 2020 - now revised and extended)
