Just last week, she was riding high as cohost of the popular morning show \u003cem\u003eSunup\u003c\/em\u003e. She's America's Ray of Sunshine—the girl-next-door beauty who drives up TV ratings while never exuding anything but her trademark positivity and poise. All it took was one huge on-air mistake to expose her snarky side to the world and make it all come crumbling down. Now she's back in her hometown of Adelaide Springs, Colorado, in a last-ditch attempt to convince viewers she's not the mean girl they think she is. All she has to do is apologise and capture some feel-good footage reminding everyone she's just a girl from humble beginnings who's grateful for her big break, and she might manage to preserve both her career and her image. But this town holds painful memories that she's not ready to face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSebastian Sudworth was on the fast track to the journalist hall of fame. A superstar reporter with a reputation for being in the centre of the action, his fearless, relentless coverage of major events around the globe was winning him awards and accolades—until something snapped inside him and he vanished from the scene under mysterious circumstances. Sebastian sought refuge in tiny Adelaide Springs, working odd jobs and trying to blend in as a scruffy mountain town citizen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Sebastian is assigned to chauffeur Brynn around town, Brynn is sure he can see right through her carefully cultivated, sunny persona. But she's determined to do what it takes to maintain her image and save her career—so she'll just have to charm the socks off Sebastian the same way she charmed her viewers. Easier said than done. It's no picnic to play nice around someone you hate . . . especially when you might be crazy about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor's Note: This slow-burn, low-spice\/clean enemies-to-lovers rom-com is set in a small town full of quirky citizens and is packed with pop culture, witty banter, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After—provided they can resist the urge to throw each other off a Colorado mountainside first. After all, Brynn (you probably won't like her at first) is desperately trying to save her career and Sebastian (who's hiding from his own demons) really just wants to be left alone to sing karaoke in peace.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscussion questions included, and if you love Brynn and Sebastian, make sure to pick up Bethany Turner's \u003cem\u003eCole and Laila Are Just Friends\u003c\/em\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46529832943852,"sku":"9780840706874","price":25.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8509013482487.jpg?v=1749233617"},{"product_id":"wes-and-addie-had-their-chance-by-bethany-turner-9781400345892","title":"Wes and Addie Had Their Chance","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"A delight!\" --Sophie Cousens, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"The perfect escape for every sweet romance lover!\" --Courtney Walsh, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Another laugh out loud, pitch perfect romance.\" --Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWes left Addie at the altar two decades ago . . . and that was supposed to be the end of the story.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen her life crashes and burns in a flurry of secrets and redacted information, Addie Atwater-Elwyn hightails it home to the tiny mountain town of Adelaide Springs, Colorado—back to living with her dad, back to working a low-paying job, back to a life of disappointments. Growing up, nobody expected their local girl to become a high-ranking CIA analyst, married to a gorgeous CIA operative. But that was Addie's life until she lost . . . well, everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow she's trying to pick up the pieces of her broken life with a little help from old friends. But there's one old friend she knows her life is better without—Wesley Hobbes, her childhood sweetheart who left her standing at the altar when they were eighteen years old. Truth be told, Addie would be perfectly content never seeing Wes's stupid face ever again—which makes it very inconvenient that he's now a beloved senator and presidential frontrunner, his face everywhere she looks. But that has nothing to do with Addie personally. He might make history, but in her book, he \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo, when the unwelcome Wes appears back in their hometown, no one rolls out the red carpet—not Addie and not an entire town that was forced to pick sides (and unanimously chose Addie) decades ago. Senator Hobbes certainly won't win the popular vote in Adelaide Springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWes, meanwhile, is sitting on a few secrets of his own, including the political scoop of the decade: he'd seriously rather gouge his eyes out than spend another minute in politics, much less ever go anywhere near the White House. Addie knows there has to be more to the story, and her curiosity is clouding her judgement. You can take the girl out of the CIA, but it's not so easy to shake the CIA out of the girl. Of course, it's not just curiosity (and the acknowledgement that his face isn't so stupid after all) that's been reawakened inside her. But after more than two decades, it's too late. Wes and Addie already had their chance.
