Love in the City

Dear Reader,

I’m so excited. Like, SO excited!!

The box set is doing incredible on the charts. Readers and reviewers are loving it. Check it out:

Can’t Forget a Love Like That by Lucy McConnell
This is my favorite story in the collection so far! It was like a combination of An Affair to Remember and While You Were Sleeping. Iris and Reggie work in the same building. They’ve been flirting on the elevator for months, but don’t even know each other’s names. They finally kiss (he’s pretending to be her boyfriend to get her out of a set up). The kiss is amazing, but Reggie isn’t at work the next day, or the next. He’s just gone. When Reggie awakes in the hospital, he can’t remember his name, or anything except the face of a beautiful woman and one amazing kiss. He knows they must be in love.
This leads to the sweetest comedy of errors! He thinks they must be really close, she doesn’t know much more about him than he does, but you can’t forget a love like that. This story was so darn cute! It will leave you smiling, and going back for more. ~Jessie C.

Yay!! Reading that made my day.

I hope reading this excerpt makes yours. 🙂

From Can’t Forget a Love Like That

Maybe it was silly to worry about seeing a guy in the elevator for less than two minutes a day, but he was my only romance. I didn’t have a boyfriend. I didn’t even have a man who was a friend right now. My life consisted of work, yoga, and hanging with a group of girls from the apartment building where I shared an impossibly tiny space with my best friend Zelda.

I hit the elevator button, ready to pretend I forgot something at my desk if the doors slid open and he wasn’t there. 

Zelda used to think I was desperate for male attention—until she saw the guy. Now she’s a firm supporter of my mission to hit the elevator between 5:10 and 5:16 every day. I mean, the man has a jaw sculpted by da Vinci. Not to mention he filled out a suit like a Greek god come to visit us mortals. And his brown, wavy hair … it made a girl want to run her fingers through it until the wee hours of the night.

The best part of this whole thing was that we were strangers. I could dream about him being an Olympic swimmer, a cowboy on horseback, or a Hollywood heartthrob here to sweep me off my feet, and nothing he said contradicted my daydreams.

The doors whooshed open, and my elevator boyfriend lifted his gaze from his phone and broke into a smile. “’Ello, love.”

Did I mention he had an English accent? Because … yeah—there’s that too.
