Love at first stitch? That's a reel problem.
Meg Bailey is stuck in the past—which, as a fashion conservator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, is exactly how she likes it. Sure, she may have been passed over for a promotion for the sixth time, but she still gets to restore antique ballgowns for a living. Not even her run-ins with Nick, her gym-owning new neighbor, can get her down.
Nick Taliodoros likes New York a lot better than it likes him. Nevertheless, he’s determined to spread some California sunshine among his chilly neighbors. Beginning with the odd, lovely woman he keeps seeing in the elevator. Befriending Meg is purely a social experiment, of course. After what happened in California, Nick has sworn off romance for at least a year…
As the annual Met Gala approaches, Meg begins restoring a gown worn by a survivor of the Titanic. When she and Nick stumble upon a love letter sewn into the fabric, they embark on a wild chase that uncovers the scandals of a lost age… and their own growing attraction. As professional and personal risks mount, will they piece together a shared future? Or will outside forces tear them apart for good?
