The One in My Heart

Bestselling historical romance author Sherry Thomas branches out with her first contemporary romance about a chance meeting a lifetime in the making, and an all-consuming affair without a single predictable moment.

Sometimes The One, the one you didn’t even know you’ve been waiting for, at last comes along...

Evangeline Canterbury has always appeared perfectly composed and perfectly content. No one knows the fear and turmoil she holds inside and she is happy to hide behind her façade. Until she meets Bennett Somerset on a night when her façade has fallen by the wayside, her misery visible for miles.

His presence is beguiling enough that such an inauspicious beginning morphs into a lovely one-night stand. But Evangeline becomes less sure when he ropes her into a fake relationship, so he can use her connections to get close to his estranged parents. She doesn’t want to be exploited, but he is very beautiful, very charming, and very, very, very persuasive.

At first she is only afraid that she might fall in love—and that he would walk away when he has reconciled with his parents. Then she realizes that he knows her far better than she wants him to, and understands her in ways that threaten the very foundation of her façade. She is desperate to run from him, but what if—what if he actually wants the real her?

"I am magnificently and irreparably ruined by her books"--Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author
