About this book

When Rachel meets Fredrik at a Madrid party, the chemistry is instant and undeniable—but this charming German soccer player has a rule: they're keeping things friendly, since she's leaving Spain and he's committed to his career here. Of course, that plan falls apart spectacularly when they end up tangled together on his living room floor, and suddenly "just friends" becomes a lot more complicated. As their connection deepens—fueled by late-night conversations, his ridiculously good cooking, and absolutely sizzling chemistry—they're both forced to confront an impossible question: can two people build something real when their dreams are pulling them in opposite directions? This is a fun, flirty romance about finding unexpected love when you're not looking for it, with plenty of steam and a hefty dose of heart.

Capture the tension of instant chemistry and the sweetness of falling deeper—late-night vulnerability, stolen moments, and the thrill of breaking your own rules. Mix indie pop with sultry R&B, acoustic intimacy with confident energy. Think Clairo meets SZA, boygenius meets The Weeknd. Bittersweet and magnetic.
