Lori Laine is a British rom-com author based in beautiful Western Norway. She writes warm, funny stories about modern love—complete with ambitious heroines, swoon-worthy heroes, and the delightful chaos that happens in between. Inspired by everyday moments and the thrill (and awkwardness) of new beginnings, Lori brings heart, humour, and charm to every page.
When she’s not writing or juggling family life, you’ll find her walking her dogs, reading, reluctantly hiking, or hopping around Europe with friends.
If you love stories like Can You Keep a Secret? or The Love Hypothesis, you’ll love Falling Hard. It’s a laugh-out-loud, grumpy-meets-sunshine romance about a chaotic London woman and the guarded man who falls for her despite his best efforts. It’s got humour, heart, and just the right amount of spice — a modern love story about vulnerability, redemption, and the beautiful mess of falling hard for someone.
Falling Hard follows Daisy Donaldson, a London based marketing associate with a sharp tongue, a knack for embarrassing herself in public, and a love life that could best be described as reluctant. At 27, Daisy finds herself at a crossroads, realising she has been living as two very different versions of herself.
There is Daisy Number One, Corporate Killer Daisy. She is focused, driven, and brilliant at her job. A social butterfly thriving in the hustle of London life, she is the kind of person who can dominate the corporate world with ease.
And then there is Daisy Number Two, the real Daisy. The introverted, socially awkward, phone call avoiding, job quitting, anxiety ridden recluse. The version of herself that needs two glasses of wine just to survive an interview, a date, or any social engagement for that matter. The one who would rather curl up at home with her dog and avoid the world entirely.
Having just landed her dream job at a sleek new firm, Daisy is determined to keep up her Corporate Killer persona and maintain the professional facade until she meets Sam, her infuriatingly handsome but arrogant colleague. As sparks fly and drinks spill, Daisy must dig deep to find the real her, all while navigating the messy web of workplace politics, complicated relationships, and a family that is never short on drama, and trying not to trip over her own feet again.
