Could losing everything be the best thing that ever happened to Mimi Montague? When Mimi's perfect life crashes on Christmas Eve - thanks to an ex with the moral backbone of a jellyfish - she's stripped of her car, her job, and left drowning in credit card debt. Her plan for redemption? A wobbly bike, a brand-new business, and an unexpected friendship with Fitz, the handsome Irishman who owns the local bike shop. He's charming, he's patient with her cycling disasters... and he's completely off-limits. But as he teaches her to navigate more than just the gears, Mimi can't help but wonder: what if...? Over one transformative year, as Mimi wobbles her way through a cycling tour of Champagne with chaotic VIPs, dating disasters, and a spectacular reinvention of herself, she discovers that sometimes you have to lose everything to find out who you really are. And sometimes the best things in life come when you're brave enough to take your hands off the handlebars. Perfect for fans of Bridget Jones and Sophie Kinsella, The Reluctant Cyclist is a laugh-out-loud romcom about fresh starts, fabulous shoes, and finding love where you least expect it.
