Oona Kelly Webster is an editor at a prestigious New York publishing house. Married with two children, her twenty-five-year relationship falls apart when she books a silver wedding anniversary getaway at a luxurious château in France and her husband Charles suddenly drops a bombshell which will shatter her carefully built world.

Although devastated, Oona decides to travel to France without Charles, but soon after her arrival in the charming village of Milly-la-Forêt, the world comes to a standstill due to a terrifying pandemic and all travel is forbidden. Isolated and fearful, Oona then receives another shock when she discovers her job has been made redundant. The only thing which helps her to face the tragedy taking place across the world is that she can remain in France, where the beautiful surroundings and slower pace of life will slowly begin to heal her.

And when a chance encounter with her new neighbour, a well-known Hollywood actor who is also stranded far from home, blossoms into something deeper than friendship, Oona wrestles with the risks of opening her heart again— especially to a younger, very famous man who has two young children grieving for their mother.

With a second chance at happiness before her, Oona must be brave enough to stay open to even greater life changes at a time when the world is experiencing great fear and turmoil . . .

When a wedding forces them to return home, two childhood friends must face the secrets and heated longing between them in this New Adult romance debut by Cameron Capello (BookTok's @ChamberofSecretBooks).

Once so close to her big family, Magdalen Savoy is now paralyzed with anxiety every time she's tempted to leave her safe haven at Oxford and return to their sleepy Italian village. But when Magdalen receives an invitation to her sister’s upcoming wedding, she has no choice but to pack her bag for what is sure to be a long summer.

But upon seeing his sister's best friend after all these years, it's obvious that the sweet little Maggie from his childhood is long gone. In her place is a young woman with long legs, thick hair, and walls built around the innocent heart he once knew.

Now too close for comfort during the preparations for a wedding that will join their two families, they must confront the long-buried secrets of their past and the burning tension slowly pulling them together. But their old secrets threaten to tear their worlds apart—and could possibly separate them forever. . .

The rules were simple: keep his hands off his agent's daughter and stay out of trouble. But now he's stuck with her. There's only one bed. And well, rules are made to be broken.

Rhett Eaton is the face of professional bull riding. The golden boy. Or at least he was until it all blew up in his face after a public brawl. Now his agent says he has to clean up his image, and sticks Rhett with his ball-busting daughter for the rest of the season as "full-time supervision." But Rhett doesn't need a goddamn babysitter―especially one with skin-tight jeans, a sexy smirk, and a mouth she can't stop running. A mouth he can't stop thinking about.

And he quickly learns that Summer Hamilton isn't just another conquest. She sees the man behind the mask, and she doesn't run―she pulls him closer, even when she shouldn't.

She says this means nothing. Rhett says this means everything. She says there are boundaries they shouldn't cross. That Rhett's reputation can't take any more hits…and neither can her damaged heart.

Rhett says he's going to steal it anyway.
