About this book

When Roselyn escapes to Paris to salvage her writing career, the last person she expects to see is Julien—the heartbreaker who shattered her years ago—suddenly appearing with apologies and flowers. She's older now, wiser, armed with the hard lessons of a failed marriage and a healthy dose of skepticism about second chances with charming faces. But as Julien proves he's changed and Roselyn finds herself creatively inspired in his presence, the line between using him as her muse and actually falling for him again becomes dangerously blurry. What unfolds is a tender, redemptive story about whether some loves deserve a second act and if growing up together might finally be what these two needed all along.

Listen while you read

Spotify
yearningwistfulhopefulbittersweetvulnerable

Bittersweet indie-pop and soft soul for rekindled romance, cautious hope, and the ache of second chances. Think Bon Iver's vulnerability, Maggie Rogers' warmth, and Nick Drake's wistful beauty—music for falling slowly when you've been burned before.
