Hopeful Romantics

Published Copy

Blurb

Sumaya Kasimu is a love cynic. Perpetually entangled in relationships that drain her time and energy, her most recent breakup only reinforces her belief that love is a letdown. Dating doesn’t excite her. It exhausts her. To her friends, she’s the designated heartbreaker, the one who walks away before things have the chance to fall apart.

After yet another failed office romance, Maya swears off dating. Especially anyone from work. It’s a foolproof rule.

That is, until a new hire from New York is placed under her wing. Suddenly, he’s challenging her at every turn, questioning how she interacts with authors, how she handles conflict, even how she sees herself. His persistence grates on her nerves… until she realizes it doesn’t feel like criticism. It feels like care.
