Uptown Girl by the late Olivia Goldsmith (Wikipedia) is a romantic comedy from the noted chick-lit author, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins. This seems to be a retitling of her 2004 novel Dumping Billy.

This is a repeat from sometime in 2012.

Currently free @ Amazon UK & Kobo (probably only available to the UK).

May or may not also show up at the UK stores for B&N (linked for your price-drop-check convenience), iTunes, and Google Play, but I can't easily check the latter, so you'll have to do that yourself.

Unlikely to show up in other countries, as this edition doesn't even exist in North America.

Description
There's something about Billy Nolan. It's not just that he's wickedly attractive, it's that any woman he dates and dumps (and he dates and dumps them all) immediately goes on to marry someone else.

Sassy, uptown New Yorker Kate, is immune to Billy's charms but perhaps the 'Billy effect' will work for Kate's friend, Bina, who has fallen apart because her almost-fiancé, Jack, is going away to 'explore his singleness'. All Kate has to do is get Billy to date Bina and dump her – and then await Jack's return and watch the magic happen.

It's a great plan and at first it seems to be working. But the one thing Kate hasn't considered is how Billy feels about it all…
