About this ebook
Multiple award-winning author Kat Bastion returns with a standalone multicultural romantic comedy novelette, the perfect feel-good escape... Brand New Year.
Avery Benson imprinted into her mind an amazing experience she would never allow again.
For in the thirty-fifth year of her life, at the stroke of midnight New Year's Eve, she'd undertaken an adventure. Guided by a resolution of monumental proportions. One that made kicking a habit, losing weight, or getting organized mere child's play.
Her bold resolution in that brand-new year? A brand-new her.
But… How far should we go to redefine ourselves?

Avery Benson imprinted into her mind an amazing experience she would never allow again.
Even while, on that morning, doubt buzzed through her about that fervent conviction.
