Fans of Sophie Kinsella and The Devil Wears Prada will love this smart, sexy debut novel of wanderlust.

Objectively, Sophie is a success: she's got a coveted job at a top consulting firm, a Manhattan apartment, and a passport full of stamps. It isn't quite what she dreamed of when she was a teenager dog-earing pages in exotic travel guides, but it's secure. Then her best friend bails just hours after they arrive in Hong Kong for a girls' trip, and Sophie falls for Carson, a free spirited, globetrotting American artist. He begs her to join him on his haphazard journey, but she chooses responsibility and her five-year plan.

Back in New York, that plan feels less and less appealing. As Sophie recalls the dreams she's suppressed, the brief international jaunts she sneaks in between business trips no longer feel like enough. Carson isn't ready to let her go either, but as they try to figure out their relationship, Sophie realizes she may have to pursue her passions with or without him.

But when he thinks about the life ahead of him, he can't breathe. So he takes a gap year backpacking. Nadia's relationship with Khai has many faults, but true love isn't supposed to be easy, and she's already joined him, belatedly, halfway around the world. So, she might as well stick it out. When Thomas and Nadia meet in a hostel in Peru, sparks fly, then Nadia finds herself dumped and almost out of cash. It's the perfect time for Thomas to make his move.

[MATURE READERS-CONTENT OFTEN EXPLICIT] The Devil Wears Prada meets Sweet Home Alabama in a contemporary romance that explores the realm of privacy, desire and success in a highly public relationship. "I felt undeniably drawn to him. There was almost a tangible force around us, dragging us into a bubble that was solely ours. It was a bubble that kept us safe from the world, but not necessarily safe from each other." Aspiring fashion designer Charlotte thought making an indie film in New York City was going to be easy money, easy contacts, an easy path into the industry. But, falling for her stock-broker-turned-actor co-star, Will Carter was far from what she expected. In the largest city in the world, where everyone knows you, having a private relationship and being so deeply addicted to one another was dangerous. No matter the cost, for Charlotte and Will, it seemed to be harder to walk away than to fight the challenges of being together.
