From the pen of the author who secured the prestigious Goodreads Choice Award for “The Spanish Love Deception,” emerges a highly anticipated sequel featuring the entangled lives of Rosie Graham and Lucas MartÃn, inadvertently confined to a shared New York apartment.
Rosie Graham’s predicaments are anything but scarce. Having boldly resigned from her lucrative job to nurture her clandestine identity as a romance novelist, she finds herself grappling with a severe bout of writer’s block. Unbeknownst to her family, she now faces an unforeseen disruption—her New York dwelling’s ceiling quite literally caves in on her. A fortuitous twist grants her access to her dear friend Lina’s spare key, a reprieve whilst Lina is away. Yet Rosie remains oblivious to the fact that Lina has previously granted her cousin Lucas temporary refuge within the same abode. Ironically, Lucas has become Rosie’s object of online fascination—her Instagram tracking, for lack of a better term, has been rather thorough over the past months.
Lucas, evoking the image of a Spanish chivalrous figure, is more than willing to play the part of Rosie’s rescuer. However, his approach differs somewhat, as he roams around the premises clad in a mere towel, a charming grin adorning his features, and an irresistibly alluring accent. A culinary maestro, Lucas proposes an arrangement to Rosie: temporary habitation under his roof until she secures affordable lodging elsewhere. Furthermore, he unveils an audacious proposition aimed at reigniting her literary verve and salvaging her impending deadline. Lucas suggests a series of experimental outings designed to rekindle her romantic inspiration. With nothing to forfeit, Rosie embarks on this curious endeavor. Her seemingly innocuous infatuation cultivated through virtual avenues is entirely manageable—or so she believes. However, Lucas’s tenure in the city boasts a predefined expiration date, and the span of six weeks might not suffice to satiate either her cravings or her pressing manuscript target.
