Description

WHAT IF THE WRONG PROPOSAL LED YOU TO THE RIGHT PERSON?

One disastrous Christmas proposal. One free-spirited violinist. One year that changes everything.

Whitley Dupont has it all: a high-powered finance job, a picture-perfect fiancé, and a five-year plan—until it all falls apart at her family’s Christmas gala.

Enter Layla Simmons, a quirky British violinist with a classical-pop sound and a knack for turning disasters into unforgettable moments.

What starts as a comforting conversation over peppermint cocoa turns into long-distance calls, unexpected feelings, and a slow unravelling of everything Whitley thought she knew about love—and herself.

As the holidays pass and seasons change, Whitley must decide if she’s brave enough to rewrite her story and follow her heart toward the most unexpected person of all.

A warm, witty sapphic romance about second chances, sexual awakening, and finding harmony where you least expect it.

Advance Praise

This book is the perfect cozy holiday read. It’s everything you could want from a cup of hot chocolate: warm, steamy, decadent, a little sinful and so sweet it lingers long after the last sip. I fell for Layla right away. Her wild, confident, rebellious energy hooked me instantly, but seeing Whitley through her eyes made me love her just as much. I really enjoyed Layla’s straightforward nature and how Whitley let her guard down and met her energy head-on. All in all, it’s a fantastic read!
