What to expect

An utterly gorgeous second chance romance, perfect for fans of Emily Henry

One new boss, one ex-boyfriend, one big dilemma…

Stevie Phillips has just landed her dream job at a publishing company, ready to begin a new chapter in her life.

But her first day throws more curveballs than she thinks she can handle: a sudden company takeover sees the publicity team fired, and her new boss is the last person she wanted to see — her ex-boyfriend, Noah Anderson.

Assigned to a difficult book campaign, Stevie is determined to prove herself and not let Noah, the man who broke her heart, stand in her way. But as they work closely together, Noah hints that their breakup wasn't as straightforward as she thought.

Is getting back with an ex ever a good idea, especially when he's your boss?

A spicy second-chance-romance story that will delight fans of Emily Henry and Christina Lauren
