Book excerpt: An “enchanting” novel of an American woman crossing the pond—and getting more than she bargained for—from the New York Times bestselling author (Daily Mail). Claire takes the ferry into Manhattan every day, wishing that life could be as magical as it is in the novels she reads, and hoping she’ll catch a glimpse of sexy lawyer Michael at work. One day, out of the blue, Michael offers her a trip to London, all expenses paid, and Claire’s fortunes take an extraordinary about-turn. Crossing the Atlantic, a whole new world opens up for Claire. Finally, she can revel in all the delights London has to offer a girl with a fresh spring in her step. The streets may not be paved with gold, but they are rich with opportunity. But happily-ever-after isn’t easy, even in fairytales—especially when a very strait-laced Englishman seems determined to block your efforts at every turn . . .

Book excerpt: Grandma always said dying is the the easy part; it’s the living that’s hard. I’ve been fighting to live since I was seven years old, and now the doctors say I’m gonna lose that battle soon. I’ve crossed off just about everything on my bucket list—I’ve seen the Eiffel Tower and the Coliseum and I’ve been swimming in the Caribbean; I’ve lived like I’m dying, because I am. There’s just one thing left on my list: I want to be a bride. I want to wear white and have my dad walk me down the aisle. I want a first dance and cake and a night to feel like a princess…and I want it with Westley Britton. The perfect guy. Musician, actor, and every girl’s dream man. My dream man. Only, he doesn’t even know I exist. It’s the start of a strange, improbable fairy tale. When you’re talking about terminal leukemia, happily ever after seems impossible, but when your celebrity crush and the man of your dreams shows up out of the blue and proposes to you, it makes you feel like anything is possible. Even that hardest thing: living.
