I fell in love with a physicist, and then we lost ourselves. Maybe there are places we can all be happy. We just need to find those places. Or maybe they don't exist.

2nd place winner of the #TCC2016 contest. Taking place over four New Year's Eve parties, this is the story of how Jace meets Kennedy, how love is a both a savior and a devil, and how tears can sting like salt in the wound. Read more of Jace in my book 'Bad Nights.' This story lives in the same world as my other books 'Young Hollywood Fever' and 'Hello Friend.'

"Anna dislikes being stuck three-quarters of the way down a chimney. She really does. Not to mention, she's still going round North America, and there's, like, three continents still to get through in about as many hours."

Jo Banks doesn't believe in coincidences. She also doesn't believe in fate, second chances, or that everything happens for a reason. She simply believes in facts and so far they haven't failed her. So when a boy ends up crashing into her life, making her question everything she believes in, her life will never be the same. Because Carter Rule has a story to tell. One that will change Jo forever.
