Kellen returns after All That We Never Were with another angsty new adult romance following the same characters, three years later. The passionate but ill-advised relationship between 29-year-old Axel Nguyen and his best friend’s little sister, 19-year-old Leah Jones, ended in heartbreak. Now 22, Leah, a university student and aspiring artist, tries to move on by dating a safe friend, Landon, while channeling her pain over Axel onto canvas—and she’s starting to get recognized for her work. Axel, who now works at a prominent gallery, walks back into her life with an offer to represent her and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show her work in Paris. Despite trepidation, Leah can’t pass up the chance at early art world success. As the duo grow closer once more in the city of love, Leah must decide whether to take a leap of faith with both her art and Axel or stay in her comfort zone and keep her heart safe. Kellen’s characters are flawed and complex, making their tumultuous relationship all the more juicy. The page count is hefty for a romance, but all the drama will keep readers glued to their seats. This is worth the investment. (Jan.)

Three years without even seeing him. Three years without Axel. How do you move on from a broken heart? Three years have passed since Axel Nguyen shattered Leah Jones' heart into a million pieces, and Leah has spent every moment of those three years distracting herself from the devastation. She tries to move on with Landon, a guy she meets in college, but she can only truly escape thoughts of Axel when she's painting. At least one good thing has come out of all of it: her dream of exhibiting her work is finally coming true. Axel is achingly aware every day of how much he misses Leah. The moment he learns about Leah's exhibit, Axel can't think about anything else but to go see her. Being in the same room with Leah, as beautiful and magnetic as he remembers, leaves Axel desperate and Leah breathless in his presence. He offers to be her agent; she accepts. One work trip to Paris later leaves Leah and Axel full of pent-up attraction and wondering if their whirlwind romance is a forever kind of love or if it's better off left in the past. International bestselling author Alice Kellen concludes her emotional new adult duology with an evocative and passionate love story for readers of Colleen Hoover, Anna Todd, and books to make you ugly cry.
