When Danny’s mother is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, he finds himself in a race against time to fulfil her wish for him… to find a soul mate.

Danny’s quest for love soon steers him into unfamiliar territory, and before long he’s introduced to a powerful new addiction:

Online dating.

But has he taken a wrong turn? Because neither serial dater Harry, nor fetish scene enthusiast Ben, seem like the type one brings home to mother, and time is quickly running out.

Will Danny find the love of his life, or is his chance of meeting the perfect man slipping away one date at a time?

The App Trap is a bittersweet journey into the world of modern dating. You will laugh, you will cry, and you may never swipe again.

Author's note: This is not your typical one-couple, one-love romance. Our main character takes a few scenic detours on the road to happily ever after, exploring multiple relationships (and plenty of comic mishaps) before finding “the one.” If you’re expecting instant soulmates or a straight shot to coupledom, buckle up—this ride is messier, funnier, and a little more adventurous than that. But rest assured, there is a final love story waiting for you at the end.Contains some uniquely British humour!

EXCERPT:

I thought it was about time I spruced up the old profile, since I hadn’t updated it since my punctuation faux-pas. 

Hmm. What about:

‘Click here for a 3-Day trial!’   

Oh. Minimum 300 letters, you say? That’s insane. Who has the time to read that much in this day and age?

Okay. Concentrate, Danny, here goes:

I’m here looking for a partner in crime because I’m looking to rob a selection of petrol stations in the South London area. I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy, mainly because I never think to ask for a tray when ordering a large round of drinks.

My weaknesses are: 

  • I can be intimidating as I’m quite high up in MENSA (I work on the top floor doing admin stuff).
  • Money management, because my on-going charity work and generosity always leaves me out of pocket. But I don’t like to talk about what a great person I am, so I’ll shut up about that.
  • Humility.

453 characters without spaces. Eat that.

Clem has been in love with Harry since he walked into Harry’s bookshop and saw his Heathcliff curls and poet’s face.

That love has only grown stronger over the years of working for him, but unfortunately, Harry has never noticed. He considers Clem to be far too young for him and seems set on dating a never-ending line of unsuitable men.

Then Clem’s fortune changes. Harry needs a fake boyfriend to attend a family wedding, and Clem immediately steps up for the job. He has one weekend to change Harry’s mind and make him see that Clem could be the real thing for him.

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a novella about secret feelings, a young man’s cunning romance plot, and kisses under a strawberry moon.

Strawberry Moon previously appeared in a promotional giveaway, and has had an epilogue added to it.

about the author:

Lily lives in sunny England with her husband and two children, all of whom claim that they haven’t had a proper conversation with her since she bought her first Kindle.

She has spent her life with her head full of daydreams and decided one day to just sit down and start writing about them. In the process she discovered that she actually loved writing, because how else could she get to spend her time with hot, funny men!

She loves chocolate and Baileys and the best of all creations – chocolate Baileys! Her lifetime’s ambition is to have a bath in peace without being shouted by one of her family.
