What if the universe wants two people to be together, but they're too messed up to notice? A cinematic slow-burn 'Brits in New York' Next Great Love Story that's perfect for YA fans of Normal People, Ali Hazelwood, 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 Ezraβ€”no stranger to the cityβ€”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 packageβ€”perfect for Valentine's Day. Scintillatingly hot yet endearing flawed characters strut (and stumble) right off the page as Audrey and Ezra's tension fizzes throughout.
