Amelia Alarie spent a decade writing letters to a boy who disappeared without a name - her "Crane," the one who once promised her that paper wishes could come true. Now eighteen, she's forced into an arranged engagement with a sharp-tongued surgeon who seems to hate her on sight. Dr. Alexander Crow Arevalo doesn't believe in fate, magic, or meddling mothers-but when Amelia stumbles into his world, trailing chaos and cats, something about her unsettles him in ways he can't explain. As their ten-date compromise begins, irritation turns to curiosity... and then to something far more dangerous. But Amelia is still holding onto the past-and Crow is the very man fated to shatter it. Some promises take years to keep. Some hearts take even longer to unfold.
