Alex
Sinclair couldn’t jump on a plane fast enough. Broken from an
unexpected betrayal, the twenty-one-year-old flees sunny Florida for the
Britannia cool of London—home of her favourite TV shows, plays, and
fangirl heroes. Alex believes London is where she belongs, where she’ll
heal old wounds, and chase her dream of writing for the theatre. Staying
with her British friend Harry with barely a year’s rent money in her
pocket, the clock is ticking.But when a wealthy rival fueled by
ambition and jealousy threatens her career and a fledgling romance,
Alex once again questions her self-worth—and is left wondering if London
is where she truly belongs.
