Next Shipment

Vacation Self by Alexandra Romanoff

In the long-awaited third book in the Big Fan series, love comes for Mischief band member Ramsey, a reformed rake, and Maggie, an overworked florist.

Out August 25. Join The Ones by August 3 to receive this title in your first shipment.

Description

“No one writes sexy and smart like Romanoff. This is a romance for grown-ups, one that offers redemption and tenderness for all those who are lost.” —Maurene Goo, author of One and Only and Throwback

“I devoured it in one delicious gulp. Hot, tender, and compulsively readable—this is the very best kind of escapism.” —Laura Wood, author of Under Your Spell

“Irresistible characters and an intoxicating romance. The only thing it left me wanting was more, more, more.” —Jennifer Niven, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Sobriety and desire are sometimes a dangerous combination—but it can also be exhilarating. This is that story.” —A.J. Daulerio, founder of The Small Bow and former editor of Gawker and Deadspin

This is Maggie’s first real vacation in years. She’s checking into a tucked-away Vermont enclave, and for once, she isn’t compulsively responding to work emails or taking on a last-minute floral job. All she wants is time to herself.

But what she gets is a run-in with Jake Ramsey, a onetime hard-partying pop star in recovery who's spiraling about his own life in the aftermath of his best friend Charlie’s wedding. Are Maggie and Jake providing each other with much-needed distraction from their real lives—or are they showing each other a way out of the woods?

Annual memberships will renew 7 days after the twelfth title’s order confirmation is sent. Annual members may cancel at any time but will continue to receive the remainder of their shipments.
Gift memberships are charged for the full subscription amount at the time of purchase, and members will receive the Next Shipment title listed above as soon as they redeem their membership, with the subsequent shipments following after that on a monthly cadence.

Please contact theones@831stories.com to convert your existing paperback membership to a new format or billing cadence via site credit.

How do I cancel my membership?

Memberships can be cancelled by logging into your customer account and navigating to the Subscriptions tab. Members must cancel their subscription prior to the renewal date to avoid being charged. Partial refunds will not be issued. For monthly members, the renewal date is the first of each month; for annual members, the renewal date is seven days after your twelfth order is created.

Monthly members may cancel at any time. Annual and legacy 5-book members may cancel at any time but will continue to receive the remainder of their shipments.
