✦ Synopsis

New Year’s Eve, the time when people wash away one year and welcome the next.
Tessa Richards is no different.
As the eighteen-year-old fancies herself for a night out with her best friend, Aimee Butler, excitement ripples through her nerves with the idea of spending the occasion at a night club dancing in the New Year.
Much to Tessa’s surprise, Aimee hasn’t been entirely honest. Her best friend sets them up at a party hosted by the object of Tessa’s affection; the gorgeous and enigmatic Ethan Alderidge.
Talking for the first time, an instant connection zaps between the two.
Tessa’s inexperience and untimely humour lead her away from the experienced cool and collective dream man.
As she plays the wallflower and stands alone in the garden contemplating her thoughts, the stroke of midnight ticks closer.
The cheers of the countdown—Ten, nine, eight, seven, six—echo in her ears from inside the party.
Her eyes meet Ethan in the threshold with midnight only seconds away.
Tessa’s mind races unsure if she will get that first kiss from the man of her dreams.
