In the Event of Love

DEBUT Growing up, Rachel Reed and Morgan Ross were best friends, but in the end they broke each other’s hearts. Morgan ran off to Los Angeles to become a high-profile event planner, and Rachel stayed behind to run her family’s business. Over the past seven years, Morgan has worked herself into a self-absorbed, anxiety-riddled mess, too afraid of rejection to form any close relationships. Now, on the heels of a public mistake that went viral, Morgan is returning to her hometown over the holidays to organize a fundraiser, get herself some positive PR, and redeem her reputation. But she can’t plan this event without involving Rachel, and that means coming to terms with painful memories. This steamy second-chance queer romance is told from Morgan’s point of view, and her character arc is a believable journey from prickly protagonist to someone readers will cheer for. Rachel is a well-developed love interest, and the chemistry between them sizzles from the beginning.
