Jessie Dunhour has a checklist for her life and a plan for everything. At almost twenty-eight, she’s mostly on track: her dream promotion within reach, a house under contract, and the chance to finally prove that hard work and staying the course pay off. Sure, her relationship timeline hasn’t unfolded the way she expected, but that’s something she’ll figure out once her career is firmly in place.

There’s just one complication. The path to promotion comes with a year-long relocation to Dublin, Ireland. Jessie doesn’t even have a passport, let alone a desire to upend her carefully curated life.

Thrown into a world of brightly colored Georgian doors, relentless rain, and co-workers who actually take lunch breaks, Jessie struggles to find her footing—until she meets Aidan. Confident, spontaneous and well-travelled, he is everything she isn’t. As her time-abroad ticks away, he pulls her further from her comfort zone and into a life she never imagined—one filled with adventure and a future that doesn’t fit neatly into a spreadsheet.

At the end of her work assignment, Jessie must make the most important choice of her life: return to the path she always planned, or take a chance on the one she never saw coming?
