Forced proximity and celebrity romance collide in this delightful novel from the highly praised author of

Accidentally Engaged.

Stylist Marley Kamal has waited years for the chance to be a private shopper for a major celebrity. But finding out that her first big client is the guy she went to prom with - and was promptly ghosted by - seems like the universe is mocking her. Because now Nikhil Shamdasani is back in her life, about to star in a major movie, and is more drop-dead hot than ever . . . at the worst possible time.

Marley's weeks away from an elective double mastectomy and breast reconstruction that's supposed to save her life. But this surgery is going to change things in more ways than she can possibly imagine. For one, Nik is so eager to have her as his stylist that he's offered to stay in her home and take care of her while she recovers.

Now Marley is about to learn that as the door to her old life closes, something - or rather someone - else will enter . . . if she's ready to let him in.
