From #1Β New York TimesΒ bestselling author and TikTok favorite Tessa Bailey comes a steamyΒ new rom-com about a starchy professor and the bubbly neighbor he clashes with at every turn...
Hallie Welch fell hard for Julian Vos at fourteen, after theyΒ almostΒ kissed in the dark vineyards of his familyβs winery. Now the prodigal hottie has returned to their small Napa town. When Hallie is hired to revamp the gardens on the Vos estate, she wonders if sheβll finally get that smooch. But the grumpy professor isnβt the teenager she remembers and their polar opposite personalities clash spectacularly. One wine-fueled girlsβ night later, Hallie canβt shake the sense that she did something recklessβand then she remembers the drunken secret admirer letter she left for Julian.Β Oh shit.
On sabbatical from his ivy league job, Julian plans to write a novel. But having Hallie gardening right outside his window is the ultimate distraction. Sheβs eccentric, chronically late, oftenΒ literallyΒ covered in dirtβand so unbelievably beautiful, he canβt focus on anything else. Until he finds an anonymous letter sent by a woman from his past. Even as Julian wonders about this admirer, heβs sucked further into Hallieβs orbit. Like the flowers she plants all over town, Hallie is a burst of color in Julianβs grey-scale life. For a man who irons his socks and runs on tight schedules, her sunny chaotic energy makes zero sense. But thereβs something so familiar about her... and her very presence is turning his world upside down.
