    About this ebook

    Olivia lives in the good old Pacific Northwest, but while her body is physically there, her heart is in New York City. So when her company announced that they were going fully remote, she decides this is her chance to move to the magical city. But things don’t go according to plan.

    The place she rents already has someone else living in it, and she can't seem to get the owner to help her. It looks like Olivia has no choice but to stay in the loft with AJ, her new roommate. To Olivia's surprise, she starts to become quite fond of AJ despite their differences. AJ embodies the warmth and kindness she appreciates, but is he glamorous enough to keep her interested?

    And what about Carlo, who seems to be the man of her dreams — who Olivia is inexplicably unsure of? AJ tells her that Carlo is a dangerous presence, but how can she believe him? Who can she trust in this strange city?

When she’s not writing, Iris works with paint, clay, and various difficult creatures.

      A contemporary romance without the saucy aspects romances now tend to have. A quick read that had me interested in the characters and their outcomes. Definitely worth the quick read.
