Meet Me in Monte Carlo

It's always the shy, geeky ones you have to watch out for.

Emerson was the best friend of Beckett's older brother in middle school. And he was always the geeky guy that somehow understood her shy writer heart.

Beckett was the quiet, nerdy girl who was always sick. She'd tuck herself away with movies and ice cream and on good days write by the creek. And somehow Emerson would always find a way to spend time with her. But she was always just the little sister, or so she thought.

Now, it's been almost a decade since these childhood friends saw each other and about fourteen years since they spoke to each other. But when Emerson is in desperate need of a pet sitter for his over enthusiastic great Dane, Andre, he turns to the Friendly Paws app where fate sends him a sweet deal. There he sees his childhood crush.

Beckett is a struggling, disabled writer turned pet sitter. And without any Valentine's Day plans, the thought of a furry companion actually sounded nice when the last minute pet sitting request arrived. But the last thing she expected was to turn up soaking wet from a thunderstorm on the porch of the guy who ghosted her so many years ago. On Valentine's Day of all days.

Quickly they learn that they're still those two nerdy kids who sought comfort in each other through school. But they just as quickly find there are some very big things that have changed, especially what kind of job could have Emerson traveling at such odd times. But when Beckett receives a cryptic message and a ticket offer from Emerson for a dream vacation, she can't help but accept. Would you meet your childhood crush in Monte-Carlo?
