Description
Curl up this Christmas with the ultimate city escape, and get ready to fall in love with NYC. Will her dreams come true in the city that never sleeps?
When she was nineteen, on a magical trip to New York City, Ashling created a list of her five life goals. There, she’d felt inspired to dream big, but now, ten years later, with four out of five goals having crumbled before her, she realises she has only one option left to live the life she’s always dreamed of: move to New York City, before it’s too late.
Armed with a ninety-day visa, she’s sure that a winter in the city that never sleeps will help her finally get her life on track. However, after arriving in the Big Apple with nowhere to live, Ashling realises that she may be in over her head, until she meets River . . .
River is miserable. He’s newly single, recently demoted and feeling entirely lost, but sensing Ashling could do with the help, he offers her his sofa bed. Despite their clashing personalities, over the course of the winter, outgoing Ashling finds herself growing closer to quiet, geeky River – but is he just shy or is there another reason he’s holding back?
With snow falling on 5th Avenue, a Thanksgiving parade and a fun-filled Christmas in the most romantic city in the world, can Ashling once again learn to follow her dreams – and maybe even her heart?
