COMING LATE SPRING 2027

The night Claire Freeman meets Keith Davis, everything screams “wrong place, wrong time!” Claire’s an aspiring curator who has landed a coveted fellowship at a museum in Paris, and she's flying out the next day. It's taking all the courage she can muster to leave her father and best friends to chase her dreams and forge a path beyond her conventional hometown existence in Durham, North Carolina. There's no way she’s letting a guy she just met distract her from this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, even after a mind-blowing night together.

Keith is a workaholic trying to keep his nonprofit afloat. With little time for anything except work and an occasional stop by his family's bakery, a whirlwind night with Claire during his business trip was not on his agenda. He's laser focused on pleasing his donors and helping his community, but his feelings for Claire continue to distract him as fate keeps drawing them together.

From across the Atlantic—Keith in D.C. and Claire in Paris—they connect over emails and marathon FaceTime conversations that feel a lot more flirtatious than either of them is willing to admit. It gets harder and harder to deny that what they’re trying to pass off as an unlikely friendship is so obviously something more. But between the curveballs of long-distance dating while ambitious and juggling their competing dreams, Claire and Keith both ask themselves what sacrifices it will take to make their relationship work.
