One Week Later

They had one perfect week. Then they vanished from each other’s lives—until his book inadvertently made her the villain.

Two years ago, romance novelist Melody Adams and aspiring author Beckett Nash met on a sun-soaked vacation in Aruba. Seven days of stolen moments, midnight swims, and intimate conversations left them both certain they’d found the real thing. Then a tangle of missed flights, mixed signals, and bad timing tore them apart before they could say goodbye. Neither could reach the other—so both assumed they’d been dumped.

And both did what writers do: they turned heartbreak into a novel.

Now Beckett’s debut has made him a literary sensation. Melody’s book? Critics call it a shameless rip-off. The only way to salvage her career—and her sanity—is to reconnect with Beckett and set the record straight. There’s just one problem: Beckett is engaged to someone else. And seeing each other again reminds them of exactly what they lost…and how much they both still want.
