They had one perfect week. Then they vanished from each other's lives?until his book inadvertently made her the villain.
Two years ago, romance novelist Melody Adams met aspiring author Beckett Nash on a sun-soaked vacation in Aruba. Seven days of stolen moments, midnight swims, and intimate conversations left them both certain they'd found the real thing. Then a tangle of missed flights, mixed signals, and bad timing tore them apart before they could say goodbye. Neither could reach the other - so both assumed they'd been dumped.
And both did what writers do: they turned heartbreak into a novel.
Now Beckett's debut has made him a literary sensation. Melody's book? Critics call it a shameless rip-off. The only way to salvage her career - and her sanity - is to reconnect with Beckett and set the record straight. There's just one problem: Beckett is engaged to someone else. And seeing each other again reminds them of exactly what they lost...and how much they both still want.
A sun-drenched missed connection, a storm of public scandal, and a second chance romance you'll root for until the last page - perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Carley Fortune and Christina Lauren.

KJ Micciche (she/her/hers) is a novelist who writes rom-com and contemporary romance. She hails from Queens, New York, where she spent countless hours curled up under the covers, reading The Babysitters Club as a kid by flashlight way past her bedtime.

Proud mom of two little girls, she and her family live on Long Island and summer in Cape Cod.
