Synopsis

What if the universe wants them to be together, but they're too messed up to notice? A gorgeous cinematic 'Brits in New York' Love Story that's perfect for fans of Better Than the Movies, Emily Henry and One Day.

'I'll come back.' I tell him, squeezing his hand. 'Of course I will.'
'You have to. You don't want to offend the universe after it put in so much work to get you here.'
'Right.' I smile. 'Except I thought you didn't believe in that stuff?'
'Yeah, well, life happens. You happened.'

Rookie model, Audrey, is navigating the dizzying bright lights of New York for the first time as Ezra - no stranger to the city, returns from studying abroad with a broken nose and a broken heart. Their connection is instant, smouldering and all-consuming. But when Audrey is confronted with the darker facets of the fashion industry and Ezra's past proves impossible to outrun, will it be enough?

Fate brought them together, but it might also tear them apart . . .

This gorgeous 'will they, won't they' dual POV romance is irresistible escapism in the most glamorous New York package - perfect for Valentines Day. Scintillatingly hot yet endearing flawed characters strut (and stumble) right off the page as Audrey and Ezra's tension fizzes throughout.
