The Accidental Housemate

Sometimes, to find love, you have to be a little accommodating…

A whip-smart, hilariously funny romcom for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Sophie Kinsella!



‘Witty, heartwarming and totally relatable’ Kathryn Freeman
Cath Beckinsale is in a jam. She’s a single mum of three, with her 40th birthday in sight and a precarious hold on employment. And she can’t quite let go of her late husband Gaz, whose ashes are still in an urn on the kitchen table.


To make ends meet a student lodger seems like the perfect solution – after all, what’s one more child in the house? But when Dan flies in from the US with guitar and chest hair on display, it’s immediately clear that he’s no teenager, but someone who quickly sends life in an unexpected direction.
