Mira finds herself stuck in the city of love with Jake, the playboy athlete she can't stand. What she doesn't expect is for major sparks to fly on their 24-hour adventure.

They'll start off annoyed with each other, but you know how the story goes... "Adorably sweet and a brilliant read! It made me feel like I was roaming the streets of Paris without having to leave my couch." - Grace @HQ ***** On the last day of their class's college trip to Paris, Mira and Jake get tangled up in a debacle that causes them to miss their flight home to New York. Which means they're stuck in Paris until the next available flight that's 24 hours away! Mira is witty and a lover of art history and good cheese. Jake, on the other hand, is your All-American frat boy with a killer smile. Translation: they can't stand each other. As they visit places they could never have imagined, Mira and Jake go from mortal enemies to star-crossed lovers with sizzling chemistry. But can their spark last without Paris' cheese and charm to keep it going? [[word count: 50,000-60,000 words]] Cover designed by Ray Gardener

They reminded me of Peter Pan's Lost Boys, wild and rebellious, but all grown up in a way that could only be described in one word: sexy.

He is a freaking rock star. And did my parents ever mention that after they let him stay at our house and work in our farm for the summer? Nooooo. They just had this amazing, amazing excuse that they thought I already know. Like hell I would! All my life I've lived in our farm and vineyard and was home-schooled that isolation is a word synonymous to understatement in my vocabulary. Not that I blame my foster parents about it, it's not their fault I'm socially awkward and only brave when I'm in my head, like this. But that totally does not, I repeat, DOES NOT, let them off the hook. I've said and done so many humiliating things over the last two weeks that I practically wish the ground would swallow me, whole clogs and all. I even fell in love with him. So what's a farm girl to do now? You can't just un-love your first love, especially when you can see him on TV every time and hear him on the radio. Can you? It's the summer that will change Emily's life forever. When a gorgeous guy from the city comes to work at their farm and lives with them for the summer, Ellie thought it would only be one challenging thing she should overcome before she finally goes to college in the city. Now she's wishing at all the stars in the night sky to line up and make everything work.
