"Hannah Rose's writing is so whimsical. This book was full of queer and trans found family feels, and enough twists and turns that made it hard to put down. A perfect LGBTQ+ romance about going after what you want and following your heart, even the journey doesn't turn out the way you think it will."

-Bestselling Author Georgina Kiersten

At a friends' wedding, Mae Saunders has a love-at-first-sight moment with Amber, someone whose aura matches the surrounding snow. But then Amber drags Mae into a wild, half-planned scheme for a European trip. Utterly smitten, Mae is ready to follow Amber anywhere, even quitting her job at a tea shop like she'd quit college more than a year ago. As a twenty-two-year-old lesbian, Mae knows she prefers femme women, even if she isn't sure of much else.

Mae's sure she'll win Amber's heart during the venture, but there are two obstacles. As a bisexual, Amber encounters the lamest dudes to flirt with in every city. And then there's Blaise, Amber's non-binary Belgian cousin—a killjoy the family sends as a companion for the trip. Blaise is a presumptive, quiet reminder of the gap between Amber's world and Mae's. Yet her surprising attraction to them confuses her, their aura a golden light she can't ignore. Regardless, Mae stubbornly maintains she'll woo Amber, and by the time they reach Paris, she'll be Mae's girlfriend.

Plan in place, Mae confides in Blaise as they grow closer, and friendship lines blur as her strategy crumbles. Blaise breaks every rule Mae assumes about attraction, their vigilant protection comforting her without asking for anything in return.

But if Mae can't decide what or who she really wants, she might lose them both.
