A heartbroken woman calls an anonymous late-night hotline and falls for the voice on the other end-only to meet a man in real life who feels impossibly familiar-in this witty, slow-burn romantic comedy about love, timing, and staying when it's easier to run.
Chloe didn't get dumped in a dramatic blaze of glory.
She got left quietly.
So she does something reckless. She dials a heartbreak hotline with three strict rules: no real names, no personal details, no contact outside the call.
It's supposed to be safe. Temporary. Forgettable.
Until the man who answers-Owl-doesn't try to fix her. He listens. He remembers. He stays on the line at 4AM when the silence feels unbearable.
Chloe calls herself Firefly.
And somewhere between midnight confessions and a ritual called "One True Sentence," comfort turns into something dangerously close to love.
Then she meets him.
A steady, charming stranger in a coffee shop. Warm in the daylight. Attentive in all the ways that matter. The kind of man who notices everything.
Now Chloe has two versions of connection-one in the dark, one in the light.
And anonymity has rules for a reason.
Warm, funny, and tender, this contemporary rom-com features:
* Anonymous strangers-to-lovers
* Coffee shop meet-cute
* Slow-burn emotional intimacy
* Banter with bite
* A loyal best friend
* A dip that hurts-and a payoff that heals
For readers who love romantic comedies with heart, humor, and just enough ache to make the happy ending worth it.
