Determined not to spiral, Annie spots an opening on her company’s data strategy team and decides she’s going for it. She’s never written a line of code, but really, how hard could it be?
Connor, the interim head of the department, isn’t buying it. Still, Annie knows his team of brilliant but socially awkward techies desperately needs someone who can actually talk to humans, and she’s convinced she’s exactly what they’re missing. All she has to do is overlook the fact that Connor is both maddeningly irritating and unfairly attractive.
As if winning over Connor weren’t enough, Annie also has to survive her sister’s second engagement party—the same engagement she accidentally sabotaged the first time. And her sister definitely hasn’t forgotten.

Sky, whose mysterious past has long fascinated the media, seems like the perfect lead. She agrees to give him an exclusive interview with someone she once befriended in a very public, unforgettable way, hoping it will finally prove she’s more than the town oddity.
But as Sky opens up and Adam listens, their arrangement deepens into something far more meaningful. For their connection to flourish, Adam must embrace a world that challenges everything he thought he knew, and Sky must allow her wild, wonder-filled heart to trust someone new.
