Playing Hard To Get

Opposites who cannot quite stay away from each other anchor Playing Hard To Get, a slow-burn romance from Monica Murphy. The attraction builds through friction, with humour easing the tension and feeling arriving gradually rather than all at once. Murphy's leads come from different corners of the same world and find their differences harder to maintain than either expected, and the book delivers the warmth and resolution her readers look for. Published by Penguin Publications. What lands with readers: • Slow-burn attraction between mismatched leads • Humour used to offset the emotional tension • A satisfying close in the contemporary romance tradition • Accessible whether or not the reader knows Murphy's other books For romance readers who prefer longing and payoff to quick resolution, published by Penguin Publications and available from Boipoka.
