Not Precisely Mr. Knightley
Book 2 of the The Silver Teapot series
E.J. Bennett helps run a Sydney technology company with her best friend Jordan Knightley, whose feelings for her have long gone beyond business partnership. E.J. prides herself on understanding romance well enough to build a successful dating platform and to manage other people's matches, yet she remains remarkably blind to the man beside her. When she sets her sights on someone else, Jordan must decide whether to keep supporting her choices or risk the friendship by telling the truth. Inspired by Emma rather than a scene-for-scene retelling, this contemporary romance swaps English drawing rooms for Australian tech culture and makes matchmaking the heroine's biggest blind spot.
