Thanks to a clause in the former owner\u2019s will, she and her old roommate, Adam Harper, now <em>own<\/em> the multi-million dollar property\u2014or at least they will in a month, once all the paperwork is signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four weeks, then June can return to her life in LA and forget about New York City and everything she left behind. Sure, the fact that June and Adam are estranged and haven\u2019t even spoken in five years, and that their friendship didn\u2019t <em>exactly<\/em> end on good terms might complicate matters, but this is an opportunity of a lifetime.<br><br>As the autumn leaves fall around them, through shared meals and late-night conversations, old wounds and long-buried sparks resurface, and it becomes strikingly clear: June and Adam have unfinished business. Confronted with the consequences of their choices years before, they must now navigate the minefield of their past the best way they know how: <em>together. <\/em>Second chances are always a risk, but maybe, if they get it right and are finally honest with each other and with themselves, it could be different this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Joss Richard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jossrichard.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.jossrichard.com\/\">personal website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Publisher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.ca\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.ca\">Penguin Random House Canada<\/a>, publisher of Dell and Viking books in Canada <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joss Richard was born in Toronto to immigrant parents from the Philippines.
