She's gone viral for all the wrong reasons. He's about to lose his soccer career if he can't work a miracle. Desperate times call for desperate measures, like "I Do." Ophelia Finnegan is an accountant by day, a wanna-be novelist by night, and an all-around lover of all things romantic-comedy, especially of the British variety. When her grand romantic gesture makes her the laughingstock of the internet, she's pretty sure she'll never get to live out her romantic dreams. Xavier Henry just wants to play soccer. Banished from his home in England, Xavier's carved out a career for himself here in the States. But his management is determined to bench him, so he needs an immediate trade. The only way to do that is to become an American citizen—fast. When their paths cross on social media, Ophelia and Xavier realize they might be the solution to each other's problems. After all marriage of convenience is Ophelia's favorite romantic trope. As long as they can stick to the rules, including the most important: don't fall in love.

Ophelia + Xavier = XOXO, indeed! hearteyes
I reallyreally loved this story: it was equally funny, sweet, cringe-, and swoon-worthy. I adored Ophelia in all her impulsive glory and Xavier (truly one of the good guys), and I felt so bad for them when pretty much every one of their well-intentioned plans went so horribly, horribly wrong. (Which made the final resolution of that convoluted mess they managed to get themselves into all the sweeter. :) )
And while I might have been gnashing my teeth a tiny bit because I would have liked Ophelia and Xavier to get together a leeeettle bit sooner, Kathryn R. Biel's writing is excellent, as always. The setup for Ophelia's initial social media debacle, for example, is just... chef's kiss
I don't know if there are currently any plans, but but I would really love to read more rom-coms set in this world.
