A hilarious and heartfelt rom-com about having it all, slowing down to see the big picture, and finding out that the person you least expect could be your perfect fit
Josephine Davis has spent her entire twenties building Revenant: a fashion brand headquartered in downtown Austin. When her biggest investor orders Josie to hire a consultant, the last person she expects to be working with is Will Grant - the twin brother of Josie's ex best friend.
Sure, Will and Josie may have shared one mistake of a kiss during senior spring break nine years ago, but they've never been friends. She remembers him as moody; he always thought of her as shallow. Romance isn't on the table for either of them until they blink, and realize there's a reason they can't stay away from each other.
But there's Will's sister to consider - whom Josie hasn't spoken with since their falling out - not to mention, Will and Josie live seventeen hundred miles apart. And it's not like she has time for a boyfriend anyway when she's an overworked CEO. As Josie's burnout looms while she falls deeper and harder for Will, she contends with the fact that eventually, she'll have to make a choice: stay alone to be productive, or slow down to be in love.
