Janine Reise writes contemporary, slightly dark, and not overly cheesy romance to get a chance to be with all her crushes through her characters.
She lives in Canada, where she spends her time writing, obsessing over her fictional and not-so-fictional crushes, and getting annoyed at people who walk too slowly on hiking trails.
This is Janine's first novel (so far). If you'd like to know when the next one comes out, you can join her mailing list.
Life is a struggle—studies, work, bills—but Nina doesn’t mind. She keeps everything under control, and she likes it that way.
Then a mysterious job offer leads her into a world she never imagined herself entering. It also leads her to Josh.
Josh is warm and open. Josh sees her even when she’s wearing a mask. And Josh makes her realize, for the first time, that she wants more than independence. More than control.
There’s just one problem: Josh already met Nina once before.
He just doesn’t know it.
And Nina can’t keep her secret forever.
