From the author who garnered the Goodreads Choice Award with “The Spanish Love Deception,” a highly anticipated continuation ensues, featuring the intersecting lives of Rosie Graham and Lucas Martín. In this eagerly awaited sequel, Rosie and Lucas unexpectedly find themselves cohabiting a New York apartment.
Rosie Graham’s predicament is multi-layered. She has, among other things, quit her lucrative job to nurture her clandestine passion as a romance writer. A silence about her new path pervades her familial interactions, while she grapples with a formidable bout of writer’s block. Furthermore, her New York dwelling faces an imminent structural failure—quite literally, as its ceiling collapses onto her. Fortuitously, she holds the spare key to her best friend Lina’s apartment, unaware that Lina has already loaned it to her cousin Lucas. Incidentally, Lucas has been the subject of Rosie’s online “stalking,” if you will, on Instagram over the past few months. His chivalrous Spanish charm kicks in, and he assumes the role of Rosie’s savior. This modern knight in less traditional attire wanders about the apartment clad in a towel, grinning irresistibly, accentuating his allure. As if that’s not enough, he happens to be a skilled cook.
Lucas extends the invitation for Rosie to stay with him, at least until she finds more financially feasible temporary accommodations. He then puts forth an audacious proposition to rekindle her literary creativity and adhere to her looming deadline: a sequence of unconventional dates engineered to reignite her romantic muse. Rosie opts to embark on this experiment, confident in her ability to manage her seemingly trivial online infatuation. Yet, Lucas’s time in the bustling New York city is finite, with a looming six-week expiration date that may prove insufficient to address either Rosie’s creative block or her writing deadline.
