"When a PhD candidate inherits more grief than she can quantify, an attractive musician-and his mysterious jacket-unravels everything she thought she knew about love, loss, and reality.
"You can expect two things from a Kate Robb novel: lots of delicious tension and a touch of magic that leaves you feeling wonderfully whisked away."-Hannah Bonam-Young, New York Times bestselling author of Out on a Limb
Annalise Harris lives by facts and figures. Raised by her uncle after her mother's death, she's always relied on logic to avoid the unexpected. So when her uncle passes away, Annalise is left reeling.
Luckily, she has an escape plan: a PhD program abroad to leave her grief behind. Unluckily, Mackenzie Smith, her new roommate, is not the woman she was expecting but a leather jacket-wearing, wannabe rock star, extremely attractive man. At least they'll only be sharing space for a few months. Then she'll be gone.
Except Mackenzie is more than he appears-and so is his jacket. When Annalise slips it on one afternoon, she's struck by inexplicable visions that defy every law of logic. As Annalise scrambles to explain the impossible, she and Mackenzie grow closer.
There's no rational reason a leather jacket should unlock visions-or for Annalise to fall in love just as she's preparing to leave. But for the first time since losing her uncle, she feels something she thought was gone for good: happiness.
But can she trust it? And can she follow her heart-even if it means letting go of sense?"
"When a young woman is bequeathed a shuttered dance hall, she begins to dream of its heyday-and learns to see her present-day entanglements in a new light.
Jules is stunned when eccentric and glamorous retiree Kitty St. Clair passes away and leaves her a dilapidated dance hall in their quaint lakeside community.
That is until Reeve, a charming, successful developer, returns to town, looking for the new owner of the dance hall, intent on turning it into luxury vacation condos. Suddenly Jules has a way to make her lifelong dream of going to medical school a reality. But selling the dance hall will only add to the steadily rising real estate prices, making it harder for the residents of her tiny vacation town to live there, not to mention Reeve also happens to be the man who Jules shared a magical night with two summers ago-and never heard from again.
Reeve wants a second chance with Jules and is determined to earn back her trust. But can she let herself fall for him again? Does he want her, or a guaranteed sale?
Jules wishes she could talk to Kitty, who always seemed to have the best advice, so she turns to the diary she left her. But as Jules falls asleep reading, she wakes up in the world of the diary, fifty years ago, accompanying a young Kitty to the dance hall in all its glory. Her dream visits to Kitty's past begin to parallel the questions plaguing her in her own world. Will Kitty's past hold the keys to unlocking Jules's future?"
