Summary: A laugh-out-loud, escapist summer holiday rom-com, perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Beth O’Leary and Sophie Kinsella.
Chloe needs a holiday. She’s invisible to her boss, overworked and burnt out. What she gets is a chaotic wellness retreat at a sun-drenched Ibizan villa, run by a man whose resemblance to Pedro Pascal and sublime cooking make up for seeming a bit out of his depth.
Ben has taken a sabbatical from his London restaurant, and is trying to turn his late uncle’s rundown, rustic villa into a fully-booked, profitable, functioning retreat. He can wing the catering and count on the sunshine, but he hasn’t planned on Chloe: clumsy, brilliant, and so overworked and underappreciated it’s quietly heartbreaking.
As the week unfolds – complete with feral goats, beach raves, skinny-dipping and wedding-crashing – both of them begin to feel a glow that neither of them saw coming.
But real life is waiting for them both back in London. And real feelings are a lot harder to pack up than a suitcase.
Warm, fizzing with Kristen Bailey’s signature humour and full of genuine heart, Glow Job is the summer rom-com you’ll never want to end, but will devour in one sitting.
Perfect for readers who love:
· Sun-soaked holiday romance
· Sizzling chemistry and spice
· Whirlwind time-pressured new love
· Workaholic heroine learning to let go
· Dual POV and found family dynamics

About the Author:
Mother-of-four, rum-drinker, binge-watcher, receipt-hoarder, enthusiastic but terrible cook. Kristen also writes. Apparently, she’s also funny though her husband doesn’t think so. Her first books were published in 2016 and since then, she’s kept writing. Do her books have a genre? Who knows? It’s contemporary-women’s-humorous, sometimes romantic, often feel-good fiction for people who don’t mind a knob joke. She’s known for her Callaghan Sisters series, the first of which, _Has Anyone Seen My Sex Life?_, was a Top Ten Kindle Bestseller. Her last novel, _Great Sexpectations_, was shortlisted for the Jane Wenham-Jones Romantic Comedy Novel Award. Kristen lives in Hampshire, UK. She also is a whizz at world capitals and thinks pineapple belongs on pizza. Don’t fight her on this.
