About this ebook
When a PhD candidate inherits more grief than she can quantify, an attractive musician—and his mysterious jacket—unravels everything she thought she knew about love, loss, and reality.
“You can expect two things from a Kate Robb novel: lots of delicious tension and a touch of magic that leaves you feeling wonderfully whisked away.”—Hannah Bonam-Young, New York Times bestselling author of Out on a Limb
Annalise Harris lives by facts and figures. Raised by her uncle after her mother’s death, she’s always relied on logic to avoid the unexpected. So when her uncle passes away, Annalise is left reeling.
Luckily, she has an escape plan: a PhD program abroad to leave her grief behind. Unluckily, Mackenzie Smith, her new roommate, is not the woman she was expecting but a leather jacket–wearing, wannabe rock star, extremely attractive man. At least they’ll only be sharing space for a few months. Then she’ll be gone.
Except Mackenzie is more than he appears—and so is his jacket. When Annalise slips it on one afternoon, she’s struck by inexplicable visions that defy every law of logic. As Annalise scrambles to explain the impossible, she and Mackenzie grow closer.
There’s no rational reason a leather jacket should unlock visions—or for Annalise to fall in love just as she’s preparing to leave. But for the first time since losing her uncle, she feels something she thought was gone for good: happiness.
But can she trust it? And can she follow her heart—even if it means letting go of sense?

I absolutely adored this rather magical story. It has a leather jacket that transforms a young woman from grief to love as each time she puts it on, she is transported to an event in another’s memory. The events tell the jacket’s story-from belonging to her deceased uncle to being in the possession of a musician. The musician is her new roommate and love blooms. Love and fate meet for a delightful story. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. My thoughts & Opinions
About the author
Kate Robb is the author of This Spells Love, Prime Time Romance, and Kitty St. Clair’s Last Dance. She dated a lot of duds in her twenties (amongst a few gems) all providing excellent fodder to write weird and wild romantic comedies. She lives just outside of Toronto, Canada, where she spends her free time pretending she’s not a hockey mom while whispering “hustle” under her breath from the bleachers, a Pinot Grigio concealed in her YETI mug. She hates owls, the word “whilst,” and wearing shorts and aspires to one day be able to wear four-inch heels again.
