A one-night stand between two old childhood friends turns into something more, but when a scandal threatens to tear them apart, they must decide how hard to fight for love—a steamy romance debut perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey and Kennedy Ryan​.

Exhausted and on deadline with a story that could make or break her career, investigative journalist Georgia Ross is on the verge of a meltdown when a cancelled flight leaves her stuck in the airport overnight. But when a familiar face appears—the older brother of her childhood friend—and offers help, Gigi seems to have caught a break.

Alec Kim is handsome, humble, and kind—exactly the sort of man that Gigi has forgotten existed after her own painful heartbreaks. An evening of reconnection followed by a night of no-strings-attached passion with Alec feels like a gift—that is, until Gigi finally realizes that their childhood connection isn’t the only reason he seems so familiar to her.

Alec is determined to prove to Gigi that he is truly the man she thinks he is, even if it means coming clean about his fame—and his family’s connection to the story Gigi’s been working so hard to break. But as their feelings for each other grow deeper, Gigi and Alec must navigate a new reality…one where both of their hard-won careers are put directly in the path of an international scandal.

Wow! I picked this up because of the glowing recommendation from Natasha is a Book Junkie and am so glad I did. There are very few books that make me an emotional mess and this is definitely one of them. So addicting, so sexy, just SO MUCH that I was captivated from the very first page. And this is a debut… just WOW!

I love stories where there is some kind of connection between the characters from the past, stories about where the famous person falls for the normal girl next door, stories that have that instant spark and connection between the characters and where a one-night stand becomes something more than either could ever expect.

Everything about the book is said in the blurb so I don’t want to ruin the journey for you… I just want to say to READ IT because for a debut novel, this is a love story so heartfelt, so steamy, so passionate and wonderful that I can not even do it justice. JUST READ IT!

At one point, I was sitting at the nail salon getting a pedicure next to my daughter and she turned to me and asked me if I was ok… and I wasn’t because my heart… oh my heart… and these characters. I need to do a re-read because I just loved them so. I completely LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK!
