One Week Later

From Cosmopolitan's Cosmo Reads imprint comes a story of sun-drenched missed connection, a storm of public scandal, and a second chance you'll root for until the last page―perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Carley Fortune and Christina Lauren. They had one perfect week. Then they vanished from each other's lives―until his book inadvertently made her the villain. Two years ago, romance novelist Melody Adams and aspiring author Beckett Nash met on a sun-soaked vacation in Aruba. Seven days of stolen moments, midnight swims, and intimate conversations left them both certain they'd found the real thing. Then a tangle of missed flights, mixed signals, and bad timing tore them apart before they could say goodbye. Neither could reach the other―so both assumed they'd been dumped. And both did what writers do: they turned heartbreak into a novel. Now Beckett's debut has made him a literary sensation. Melody's book? Critics call it a shameless rip-off. The only way to salvage her career―and her sanity―is to reconnect with Beckett and set the record straight. There's just one problem: Beckett is engaged to someone else. And seeing each other again reminds them of exactly what they lost…and how much they both still want. "[A] romantic gem." ― Publishers Weekly STARRED Review for The Book Proposal "Fans of Emily Henry will adore this author."  ― New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins "A love letter to writing." ―Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka for A Storybook Wedding "This epic second-chance romance has it all―adventure, angst, all the sexual tension, plenty of actual sex, and warring authors fighting over who gets to tell their love story. Micciche deftly weaves humor and heartbreak―as well as some very meta moments about what it’s really like to write romance novels―into her story, which takes multiple twists and turns that somehow all feel deeply meaningful." ― Cosmopolitan "Imminently satisfying...Second-chance romance fans will eat this up." ― Publishers Weekly "The twists and turns along with heartfelt family relationships and dysfunctions elevate this book to the must-read level." ― Booklist "Micciche’s ( A Storybook Wedding ) multilayered and sexy love story, set in a tropical locale, will appeal to readers who enjoy travel and bookish storylines." ― Library Journal "Full of angst, heart, and second chances, One Week Later is an immersive, tantalizing view into love, the world of publishing, and the two equally significant sides of every story." ― Neely Tubati Alexander, author of Love Buzz and In a Not So Perfect World KJ Micciche (she/her/hers) is a novelist who writes rom-com and contemporary romance.
