Ivy Brown has built the life of her dreams. As the owner of a luxury hair studio in New York City, with celebrity clients and her work gracing the pages of Vogue, she's left her past firmly behind her. But when her mother announces she's getting remarried, Ivy is drawn back to London as maid of honour-a role she can't refuse, no matter how much she dreads returning to the city she left nearly a decade ago. London is full of memories Ivy would rather forget, none more complicated than those of Lucas Martinez. Lucas wasn't just her childhood best friend-he was her first love, her everything. Their bond seemed unbreakable until it wasn't. Now Lucas is back too, and he's not alone. Thrown together in the midst of wedding chaos, Ivy must confront the tension, heartbreak, and unspoken words lingering between them. As old wounds resurface and sparks threaten to reignite, Ivy will have to decide whether some bridges are worth crossing-or if the past is better left behind.

Uday promises to pick her up at 8:30 AM. He's always late. Every day, Swara swears she will go back to public transport. But she's too comfortable in the AC and cushioned seats. So, the arrangement sticks. Uday is just happy someone's there to split the petrol costs. Until Swara's once dormant crush begins to reawaken. The more time they spend together, the more Swara realizes that Uday is actually not that annoying, irresponsible, and might even be, to her enormous shock, smart and considerate. She's desperate to keep the arrangement, and more importantly, the friendship going. But she's unable to deny her feelings or his presence, right in the driver's seat, any longer.

The unexpected bond between them flourishes. But all good things must come to an end. "Jema" has been #490 in Teen Fiction. (boyxboy in the title because WP asked me to)
