A family invasion, a cultural clash, and a bloody mess.
Addie Branford thought the hardest part of dating a British hockey player was the accent that short-circuits her brain. Then Niall Forester’s titled parents arrive in Seattle. Grace Forester is warm, tipsy, artistic, and determined to ‘experience authentic American culture’, which turns into Pike Place Market fish-throwing and a $6,000 paint crime. Earl Charles Forester is politely horrified by everything. Especially Addie and her denim.
Addie endures two weeks of titled chaos, the etiquette landmines, and the alarming discovery that Grace is weirdly lovable … then she gets into her dream master’s program in Sports Medicine. The timing? Absolute rubbish, because Niall’s family obligations don’t come with a pause button.
Niall’s ‘short time’ in London turns into six weeks. Time zones turn FaceTime into a competitive sport. And when life offers them both an easier path, Addie and Niall do the stupidest, bravest thing possible: they choose each other anyway.
But love doesn’t fix calendars, careers, or a family foundation in crisis. And when duty and ambition pull them in opposite directions, Addie faces the one problem neither chemistry nor sarcasm can solve.
One American woman. One British family. One very stubborn hockey star. What could possibly go wrong?
