From bestselling author Alana Highbury comes a contemporary second-chance romance inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion ...
She gave up on love. He gave up on her. Now they have to work together.
On the surface, Annie has it all-beauty, brains, youth, a flexible job, and a party girl image-even as a troubled childhood and a missed chance at love continue to haunt her. Then it all comes crashing down: betrayed by both her boyfriend and a close friend, she's forced to quit her job and spirals into a deep depression fueled by alcohol and her toxic, narcissistic mother. Beneath it all is a growing fear she'll run into her ex, Kylan, who's suddenly back in town. How can she face the man whose heart she broke four years ago-the one who left her life but never her heart?
Just as Annie is finally getting back on her feet and pursuing a new passion as a literary agent assistant, another bomb drops: Kylan's New York agency is acquiring the one that just hired her. Now, she's stuck working in the same office while watching her new friend and coworker flirt with him.
Can she survive working for him while he's in town, or will it cost her the dream job?
This sweet but angsty romance, loosely based on Jane Austen's works, has no explicit scenes but does have some innuendo, mild/moderate language, excessive alcohol use, and mental health issues.
