Synopsis:
Kate Martino built a life on safe choices—until the night her ex-boyfriend (now Hollywood's hottest leading man) finds her having a panic attack at his brother's engagement party.
Seven years ago, she walked away from Nick Clarke and his impractical acting dreams to build a sensible life with a sensible man. Now she's calling off her wedding, her art gallery is failing, and the only person who can help is the man who broke her heart—the one who became famous using the stage name she gave him.
Nick's spent years trying to forget her. He bought her artwork. He kept her textbooks. He moved her couch across the country. (Totally normal behavior.)
When Kate crashes his party—literally breaks into his house—Nick knows he should call security. Instead, he offers her a deal: stay in LA, and since they're both standing up in his brother's wedding, maybe they can figure out how to be friends.
Just friends. Who hold hands. And spoon. And definitely don't kiss... until they do.
Falling for your best friend's brother is complicated enough without adding "international movie star" to the equation. And Kate's done shrinking herself for men who treat her dreams like hobbies.
But Nick's not trying to save her—he's trying to partner with her. And Kate's starting to think the bravest thing she's ever done isn't walking away from love. It's having the guts to walk back.
Perfect for readers who want their romance with a side of art history, feminist rage, and heroes who respect the word "no" (even when it's killing them).
