Floored - Chrissie Harrison

Amiable TV production accountant Drew turned his back on dating after the death of his fiancée, an incident which cemented his longstanding elevatophobia. When Drew moves home and workplace, hoping for a fresh start, he hears a voice in the office lift telling him to "be careful".  Is it his fevered imagination, the ghost of his fiancée, or someone playing a cruel prank? Quickly, he becomes desperate, foolish- and unexpectedly smitten. Cute, sparky but shy Hannah wouldn't mind finding romance, but keeps choosing the wrong boyfriends. Her innate social anxiety, deepened by bad experiences with a preying boss, is a huge barrier to dating anyone new. To expose her boss' antics, she must be lucky and smart. However, talking to a sweet but hapless co-worker isn't the answer- is it? Slowly, a relationship blossoms alongside a shared determination to bring justice to their workplace. Yet, they can't possibly risk meeting in person- can they? This wonderful, laugh-out-loud, will-they-won't-they romcom is perfect for those who loved Laura Jane Williams' "Our Stop", Beth O'Leary's "The Flatshare", or Sally Thorne's "The Hating Game". The slow-burn, non-spicy romance is underpinned by comedy throughout, yet the story also touches on some more serious issues - social anxiety, sexual harassment, and infertility - with care, understanding and a light touch.
