Portia MacIntosh has been ‘making stuff up’ for as long as she can remember – or so she says. Whether it was blaming her siblings for that broken vase when she was growing up, blagging her way backstage during her rock chick phase or, most recently, whatever justification she can fabricate to explain away those lunchtime cocktails, Portia just loves telling tales.
After years of working as a music journalist, Portia decided it was time to use her powers for good and started writing novels instead. Bestseller Portia MacIntosh writes hilarious, sexy romcoms, drawing on her real-life experiences. Find out more at www.portiamacintosh.com

Stuck On You (2020) by Portia MacIntosh
Could a post-it note really lead to love…?
When Sadie took the position of personal assistant to Damien Banks (a top portrait photographer) she didn’t think that it meant being his ‘personal’ assistant. Managing his day-to-day life from dumping girlfriends, getting his dry cleaning and waiting for deliveries. She’d hoped it was going to be so much more. Working for Damien can be demanding, to say the least, the phone calls and ridiculous demands – that leave her looking for prostitutes to a potential serial killer.
On her first day, she found a post-it note on her desk from Adam (her job share) telling her that the boss was a nightmare. From that first post-it note, they conversed back and forth. Sharing jokes and updates, slowly she found herself looking forward to the notes and dreaming of running off into the sunset with Adam. However, after telling Adam that she has a new job and that she’d like to meet, he ghosts her. Good job that Damien has practically invited himself for Christmas at her parents’ house to keep her mind occupied.
A laugh-out-loud rom-com with a feel of The Flatshare and Johnny Be Good, plus the added bonus of a big dollop of Christmas festivities too.
