Audrey Spencer had the perfect love story-until she didn't. A dazzling publicist with a guarded heart, she swore she'd never fall for Stephen Johnson again. But when a chance encounter in 1980s New York drags her back into his magnetic pull, old wounds are ripped wide open.
Stephen, a brooding journalist with ink-stained hands and a voice that still knows how to say her name just right, is the man she's spent years trying to forget. But when the past crashes into the present-at a gala, in midnight phone calls, in the storm of what was never fully over-Audrey is forced to confront the question she's buried beneath ambition and heartbreak: Can you truly unlove your first love?
Set against the backdrop of neon nights, slow-dance ballads, and smoky skyline dreams, How to Unlove Your Ex is a searing second-chance romance that dares to ask: What if your heart never moved on?
