Description

We didn't get a storybook love story the first time, but when the universe shifts and our stars realign, will we take our second chance?

Our paths haven't crossed since our first and final argument four years ago. He moved to Georgia, and I moved to New York. 

Imagine my shock when the elevator doors to my apartment building open, and he stands before me with two suitcases and an attitude, as if I'm the one that did something wrong.

We have friends in common, and it doesn't take long to figure out one of those friends hooked him up with a sublease on my floor. 

He was my everything, until he wasn't. 

We've both moved on and the past is the past. 

Or it should be. Which is why extend an olive branch and offer him friendship. 

Neither of us has time for a relationship. But everyone can use a friend, especially in a city as large as New York. 

He warms to the idea faster than expected. Based on his friends-with-benefits proposal, maybe a little too fast. 

Can I accept what he's offering and avoid repeating past mistakes?

A second chance romance featuring college exes, surprise neighbors, one loveable dog, forced proximity, illicit temptations, tons of feels, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

When the Stars Align is the first novel in The West Side Series, a steamy contemporary romance series full of brooding, protective men and the strong women they fall for while living the single life in the city that never sleeps.

    Enjoyed the story, the characters... the entire story. It’s well written and the characters are well rounded. It’s a sweet romance with the way the couple and their relationship grows throughout the story.

    A lovely story with some angst, some Metoo, and a satisfying HEA.
