Five Dates. One Bet. Zero Chance of Keeping It Casual.
Harper Hayes has it all figured out: a rising career in PR, a killer shoe collection, and a close circle of ride-or-die friends. But when a night of cocktails turns into a dare, she agrees to something ridiculous-find true love in just five dates, no apps allowed.
Armed with only her sass, style, and stubborn optimism, Harper dives headfirst into New York's dating jungle. But Date #3 stops her in her tracks: Elliot Marks, the broody owner of a dusty uptown bookstore, who prefers classic novels over small talk and thinks Instagram is a conspiracy.
He's everything she's not looking for-too quiet, too guarded, too unwilling to play along. So why can't she stop thinking about him?
With each date, the rules blur, the stakes rise, and Harper starts questioning everything she thought she wanted. Because when it comes to love, you can't schedule the sparks-or control the ending.
Five Dates Uptown is a whip-smart romantic comedy about bets gone sideways, chemistry you can't fake, and what happens when you fall for the wildcard.
