The Name Game

The Name Game by Beth O’Leary 

A charming, feel-good romantic comedy about mistaken identity, second chances, and unexpected love on a remote island.

From bestselling author Beth O’Leary comes The Name Game, a witty and heartwarming romance where two strangers searching for a fresh start discover they’ve accidentally landed the exact same job — and maybe the perfect match.

Charlie Jones arrives on the wild, windswept Isle of Ormer hoping to rebuild her life after loss. The quiet farm shop manager role feels like the reset she desperately needs. But she’s not the only one starting over. Another Charlie Jones — recently heartbroken and escaping city life — shows up claiming the same position.

With only one job available and two equally convincing candidates, the island is left wondering: who is the real Charlie Jones? As competition turns into reluctant partnership, and partnership turns into undeniable chemistry, both Charlies begin to realize that sometimes the best plans are the ones you never saw coming.

Set against a cozy island backdrop filled with community charm, humor, and emotional depth, The Name Game is a warm, uplifting romance about healing, identity, and finding love when life doesn’t go according to plan.
