About The Book
For fans of How to Fake it in Hollywood and Before Sunrise, a romance about how a chance encounter can rewrite a story—and change everything.
This is the night Shera's been waiting for: She’s at a trendy Silver Lake bar to finally get a drink with the handsome, charming filmmaker she's been pining after for months.
But when Max King—the alluring and mischievous frontman of an Irish punk band—enters the picture, an electric attraction ignites between them.
Shera’s evening begins to unfold in ways she never imagined, and she surprises herself by getting swept up in his energy and daring to feel again after past heartbreak. But how does she know their passionate encounter won't expire in the morning? And is she ready to shed some of her hard-earned armor for this disarming stranger?
The second book from 831 Stories, a modern romantic fiction company that prioritizes pleasure reading and the genre’s enthusiastic fans.

831 Stories: "The finest smut to the thirsting masses, with merch to match."
– Vanity Fair
“This is the exact sort of romance novel I've been looking for: one that hinges on two adults who are messy and a little sloppy but evolving and trying to be better—but keyword: adults.”
– Allison P. Davis, New York Magazine writer and author of a forthcoming book about horniness
“This book forced me to metabolize my own romantic edges and simultaneous hunger for love, allowing me to remember that perhaps this pursuit is one of the most human things we are known to want.”
– Fariha Róisín, writer of How to Cure a Ghost, Who is Wellness For?, and Survival Takes a Wild Imagination
“Fresh, hot, and really f*cking fun. A vibrant portrait of what it’s like to be young and pursuing a relationship in Los Angeles—or anywhere.”
