Suite Dreams

A wintry romance from beach-read favorite Rachel Hawthorne, the author of Love on the Lifts and Snowed In that is perfect to curl up with on a cold night. Great for fans of Stephanie Perkins, Lauren Barnholdt and Susane Colasanti.

Fate has brought Jude, an Australian hunk, right to Alyssa's door–or rather, couch. In this hilarious tale of long–distance dorm room swaps, Alyssa's boyfriend, Rick, and Jude, his pal from Australia, have exchanged places for the winter break. As Alyssa teaches Jude how to deal with the wintry weather, she just might find herself a new snuggling partner.

She pepper-sprayed him on sight. He's crashing on her couch. What could possibly go wrong?

• An Unforgettable Meet-Cute: She thought he was a threat and greeted him with pepper spray. He thought he was just showing up for a room swap. It's a start.
• A Fish Out of Water: Jude knows sand and surf, not snow and ski lodges. As Alyssa teaches him the basics of a Vermont winter, the sparks start to fly between them.
• Opposites Attract: She's a meticulous planner with her future mapped out. He's a spontaneous adventurer living for the moment. Their chemistry is anything but predictable.
• Dorm Room Romance: One tiny dorm suite. One couch. And two people trying to ignore the fact that her ex-boyfriend is the reason he's there in the first place.
