The Way Back to You

A Chicago Love Story

By: Sophie Bloom

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Claire Erikson doesn’t do chaos. As a senior event planner at one of Chicago’s top firms, she runs on forty-page decks, color-coded timelines, and the unshakable belief that the right spreadsheet can solve anything. So when she’s assigned to plan the Avalon Ballroom’s centennial gala, she’s ready for everything“except her co-chair.

Nick Damiano is a jazz bar owner, a natural improviser, and the kind of man who shows up ten minutes late with a coffee and a smile that makes the whole room relax. He’s warm where Claire is precise, easygoing where she’s airtight“and annoyingly right about the things her spreadsheets can’t measure.

Thrown together by a shared budget, a hundred-year-old building, and a Chicago blizzard that changes everything, Claire and Nick discover that the best plans sometimes fall apart“and the best people sometimes show up when you stop trying to schedule them.

A warm, witty opposites-attract romance set against the backdrop of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods“perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Abby Jimenez.

Tropes:
Opposites attract, Slow burn, Forced proximity, Sweet romance
