______________________________

June Wood has nothing left to lose.

With her hit TV show cancelled, and no acting jobs lined up, being lured back to New York by a mysterious email was easy. Thanks to a clause in her former landlord's will, June and her old roommate, Adam Harper, now own the multimillion-dollar property-or they will in a month, once the paperwork is signed.

June and Adam are stuck together for four weeks. Which would be fine, if it wasn't for the fact that they haven't spoken in five years. But this is the opportunity of a lifetime, and once it's over, she can return to LA and forget all about Adam, New York and everything that went wrong in their friendship.

Through shared meals and late-night conversations, old wounds and long-buried sparks resurface. It soon becomes strikingly clear that June and Adam have unfinished business. Second chances are always a risk, but maybe, if they are finally honest with each other and themselves, it could be different this time.
