COLE

I don’t believe in fate. I believe in contracts, control, and never trusting a woman twice. Then turbulence hits, and the terrified beauty gripping my hand rewrites every rule I live by.

She kisses me at valet parking. We spend one reckless, unforgettable night together then I wake up alone. No number. No last name. Just a nickname and a ghost I can’t find—no matter how hard I search.

Weeks later, I see her again. She runs like I’m the one who disappeared. Then I match with CodeBreaker on a faceless dating app. The connection is instant. Addictive. I don’t realize I’m falling for the same woman twice.

YASMINE

One panic attack. One stranger who makes me feel safe. One night I never meant to repeat.

Until I’m assigned to develop an app for Hart Law and come face-to-face with Cole Hart—the man from the plane… and the man behind my app match who I have built a connection with.

I tell him we can’t date. Conflict of interest. But fate isn’t done with us. Especially not when I have more than one secret I am keeping from him.

About The Author

My Review

This book is about Cole and Mina, whose lives collide through fate, missed timing, and an unforgettable one-night connection that neither can fully forget or move beyond. V.H. Nicolson delivers a heartfelt romance built on instant attraction, emotional tension, and the beloved missed connection trope woven seamlessly with strangers-to-lovers chemistry. Cole and Mina’s story explores longing, timing, and destiny, where every encounter feels charged and every separation deepens their emotional pull toward each other. The Hart Brothers world continues to shine, expanding its strong found family themes, protective alpha heroes, and fiercely loyal heroines who challenge them. Nicolson balances passion and tenderness with a twist that feels both satisfying and emotionally rewarding, especially in the final revelations. Fans of emotionally charged romance will be drawn to the heat, the heart, and the promise that love finds a way despite every obstacle placed in its path. Overall, this is a beautifully written story that leaves readers believing in second chances, destined love, and the enduring strength of connection across distance and time and unforgettable romantic satisfaction at the end here always.

When your world is turned upside down, home is where the heart is…

Plucked from nowhere and thrust into the limelight, 21-year-old Angelia MacAuley never expected her passion for music to take her all over the world.

Fast forward 10 years, and after successfully touring the globe with the man she thinks she loves but can’t have, a shocking diagnosis forces her to rethink the glamorous life she loves and the future of those around her.

Needing to step back and rest, Angelia and her faithful companion Scrappy return to her childhood home on the Isle of Skye and the warm and welcome embrace of her parents.

With her latest property investment in the picturesque village of Glentorrin on Skye, Angelia throws herself into restoring a forgotten shop full of potential—but will she find time to heal and discover love too?

A vicar, a rock drummer, and a classical musician compete for her attention—perhaps it’s time for a fresh start in every part of her life.

About The Author

My Review

This is about Angelia MacAuley, a global performer whose glittering career and complicated love life are brought to a sudden halt by a life-changing diagnosis, sending her back to the peaceful Isle of Skye to rediscover herself. In this book, the island becomes more than a setting, it is a sanctuary where healing, reflection, and gentle new beginnings unfold. Angelia returns to her childhood home with her loyal dog Scrappy, seeking rest but slowly finding purpose in unexpected places. Restoring a forgotten shop in Glentorrin becomes her anchor, allowing her to rebuild her identity beyond fame and pressure. The novel beautifully blends emotional depth with light, uplifting moments as she reconnects with family, community, and herself. Along the way, she encounters a trio of potential love interests—a vicar, a rock drummer, and a classical musician—each representing different paths her future could take, though the heart of the story remains her personal growth. The romance is subtle, unfolding alongside themes of self-acceptance and rediscovery rather than dominating the narrative. MacAuley’s journey feels tender and authentic, capturing the quiet courage it takes to slow down and choose a life rooted in peace, connection, and emotional honesty and hope.
