When Max heads to New York for his annual summer trip, he wasn't expecting to bump into the famous Lennox Taylor nor was he expecting her to lash out at him. A second chance brings them together. For Lennox, liking Max was the easy party, but showing him she wasn't the girl he first met, was difficult. Max being open-minded accepted her, and the two grow closer than either imagined, relying on each other for comfort. When Lennox's Hollywood drama resurfaces, the two are torn apart by the whirlwind. Lennox knows she has to make things right, but she's not sure it will be enough to win Max's heart back.

But they've both closed themselves off emotionally from others...that is until they match with each other on a dating app. After a disastrous first date, the two agree to never see each other again, yet they both can't stop thinking about one another, and circumstances keep pulling them back into each other's lives. Are they the real answer each other dreams, or will they continue to go through their lives hiding behind walls, just faking it? _________________________________________________________________________________ • Second Draft • { Wattpairs Mentorship Challenge 2020: Second Place Winner } { Wattpad Chicklit Ambassador: Adulthood Reading List } { Romance Reads Contest 2019: First Place Late Lovers } { Best of Summer Awards 2018: Best in Show "ChickLit" Winner } { Best of Summer Awards 2018: Judge's Pick Winner } { Blossom Awards 2018: First Place "ChickLit" Winner } { Contemporary Romantics Award: #RomanticsAwards2022: Shortlist } { Wattpad NA Ambassador: Hold My Stilettos | August 22, 2022 } { Chicklit #26 rating on September 6, 2022 } { Enemies to friends to lovers #5 on September 18, 2022 } { Onlinedating #1 on September 5, 2023 } { Texttospeech #10 on May 13, 2024 } { Contemporary #10 on May 13, 2024 } ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Only on Wattpad.
