Starting over is more about who you’re with than where you live…

Julia del Mar Ortiz is not having the best year.

She moved to Dallas with her boyfriend, who ended up ditching her and running back to New York after only a few weeks. Left with a massive—by NYC standards, anyway—apartment and a car lease in the scorching Texas heat, Julia is struggling…except that’s not completely true. Running the charitable foundation of one of the most iconic high fashion department stores in the world is serious #lifegoals.

It’s more than enough to make her want to stick it out down South.

The only monkey wrench in Julia’s plans is the blue-eyed, smart-mouthed consultant the store hired to take them public. Fellow New Yorker Rocco Quinn’s first order of business? Putting Julia’s job on the chopping block.

When Julia is tasked with making sure Rocco sees how valuable the programs she runs are, she’s caught between a rock and a very hard set of abs. Because Rocco Quinn is almost impossible to hate—and even harder to resist.

This is the first book that I have read by this author.
Julia is from New York, but she has been currently living in Texas because she followed her boyfriend that ends up dumping her shortly after. Due to that she is in a bind as had to have a roommate to help her pay for rent. She loves her job but feels like there is just something missing. She decides that she is going to make a club (Gotham Exiles) and have ex New Yorkers, so they feel more at home. There is one tiny problem, there is a guy in the group named Rocco who is the one that decides that if he going to merge companies.
Rocco who is also an ex New Yorker was hard to dislike lol. He and Julia were having to work with one another on Julia’s foundation and as they work together things start brewing and get very interesting.
I wonder what is going to happen in the next book in the series.
