About this item
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LIBRARY JOURNALRITA finalist and New York Times bestselling author Ruthie Knox kicks off a steamy new series set in the city that never sleeps—alone, at least. May Fredericks hates New York. Which is fair enough, since New York seems to hate her back. After relocating to Manhattan from the Midwest to be with her long-distance boyfriend, NFL quarterback Thor Einarsson, May receives the world’s worst marriage proposal, stabs the jerk with a shrimp fork, and storms off alone—only to get mugged. Now she’s got no phone, no cash, and no friends. How’s a nice girl supposed to get back to safe, sensible Wisconsin? Frankly, Ben Hausman couldn’t care less. Sure, it’s not every day he meets a genuine, down-to-earth woman like May—especially in a dive in the Village—but he’s recovering from an ugly divorce that cost him his restaurant.
About the Author
Ruthie Knox graduated from Grinnell College as an English and history double major and went on to earn a Ph.D. in modern British history that she's put to remarkably little use. She debuted as a romance novelist with Ride with Me--probably the only existing cross-country bicycling love story yet to be penned--and followed it up with About Last Night, which features a sizzling British banker hero with the unlikely name of Neville. She moonlights as a mother, Tweets incessantly, and bakes a mean focaccia.
