With the charm of classic romantic tales and an authentic portrayal of contemporary struggles, this debut novel shines particularly bright for those who revel in flawed characters navigating the bumpy road to love.

Set in Edinburgh on New Year's Eve, the story opens with Dr. Becca Armitage, a talented yet troubled emergency room physician who finds herself spiraling into a deep depression.

Just when she seems to hit rock bottom, Dr. Andrew Maitland, a handsome and privileged anaesthetist, enters her life. With his irresistible charm, Andrew sweeps Becca off her feet, igniting a romance that is both heart-stirring and tinged with inevitable complications.

Listeners are treated to a tale that many of us can relate to: the anxiety of presenting our best selves when we fall in love, only to stumble upon the messy truths that lie beneath.
