THE UNINTENDED GUEST
Elizabeth "Lizzie" Montgomery has never been the kind of woman who settles, born into Manhattan privilege, polished to perfection, and desired by every man's mother, except for the one man she actually wants. Alex Dunne, the brilliant Brit engaged to her kindest friend, Avery. When fate brings Lizzie and Alex back together in London for two fleeting weeks, what begins as harmless nostalgia turns into a dangerous, slow-burn affair, one that unravels every rule they've lived by.
As snow falls over the city, Lizzie and Alex slip into a secret life of quiet dinners, slow mornings, and borrowed time, each moment deepening the deception they swore would never happen again. Lizzie discovers the man behind the restraint, Alex the woman behind the sparkle. And when Avery's return looms, neither can tell whether what binds them is love, obsession, or the final act of a rivalry too long unspoken.
