Love in the Club

Moving to LA for my dream job was terrifying, but I promised myself this era of my life would be different—I’d say yes to new experiences, put myself out there, and embrace the unexpected.

Pretending to be a stranger’s girlfriend at book club? Yeah, that definitely wasn’t on my bingo card. But when I see Lincoln Schofield trapped in an awkward flirtation he clearly wants no part of, I step in without thinking.

Turns out, rescuing him comes with a twist—he wants to take me out, for real. And saying yes to him? The easiest decision I’ve made yet. One incredible night leads to pancakes with his grandma the next morning, and suddenly, this city doesn’t feel so big and lonely anymore.

Now, the guy I met by accident is the one I can’t stop thinking about. Maybe LA isn’t so scary after all.
