The Man Plan

by Elise K. Ackers

Cora is ‘over’ being alone. She has no family, all her friends are couples, and she can’t stand the thought of spending Christmas by herself. Determined to change her life, Cora hatches a plan to find The One.


Just as she decides her strategy, she meets Matt, her downstairs neighbour. They become unlikely friends, with Matt an amused bystander as Cora tries various methods to change her life.​​

Then something unexpected happens. Matt, who spends his life avoiding commitment, begins to feel jealous of the men Cora is dating and his resolve to never fall in love begins to crumble. Meanwhile, Cora is finding herself increasingly attracted to Matt. It’s shame he has the emotional capacity of a teaspoon, because in every other way he’s perfect for her. ​

If only the boy next door… No, that’s a dangerous thought.​

A light-hearted, contemporary romance about a young woman who goes looking for love, only to find it very close to home.
