Sophie hits the jackpot when she was upgraded to first class on her flight to London. What she didn't realize was who her seat mate would be: Gabriel Scott, a legend in his own right as the manager of the biggest rock band in the world. He's also an arrogant guy who looks down his nose at her. She's not prepared for his proposal, because she knows that saying yes could break her heart--or it could be the one thing she's been looking for.

As she confronts her past and grapples with her identity, themes of love, loss, and self-acceptance emerge. The narrative delves into her struggles and triumphs, highlighting her journey toward empowerment and understanding. Through vivid character development and emotional depth, the book offers a poignant exploration of what it means to find one's place in the world.

The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways. In my defense, I didn't know he was Jax Blackwood-who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip. Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands. Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected he'd be my new neighbor. An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar naked-spectacularly naked-in his living room. Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore-not the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun. Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet we're quickly becoming each other's addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything. All we have to do is trust enough to fall.
