A steamy one-night stand between childhood friends ignites a passionate romance, but when a celebrity scandal threatens to tear them apart, they must decide how hard to fight for love. A spicy romance that is pure magic (Helen Hoang, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Kiss Quotient) originally published under the pseudonym Ivy Owens by Christina Lauren co-author Lauren Billings.

Exhausted and on deadline with a story that could make or break her career, investigative journalist Georgia Ross is on the verge of a meltdown when a cancelled flight leaves her stuck in the airport overnight. But when a familiar face appearsβ€”the older brother of her childhood friendβ€”and offers help, Gigi seems to have caught a break.

Alec Kim is handsome, humble, and kindβ€”exactly the sort of man that Gigi has forgotten existed after her own painful heartbreaks. An evening of reconnection followed by a night of no-strings-attached passion with Alec feels like a giftβ€”that is, until Gigi finally realizes that their childhood connection isn't the only reason he seems so familiar to her.

Alec is determined to prove to Gigi that he is truly the man she thinks he is, even if it means coming clean about his fameβ€”and his family's connection to the story Gigi has been working so hard to break. But as their feelings for each other grow deeper, Gigi and Alec must navigate a new reality... one where both of their hard-won careers are put directly in the path of an international scandal.
