TO SIR, WITH LOVE

Perfect for fans of Love is Blind, New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne's TO SIR, WITH LOVE follows two thirty-somethings who meet on a "blind dating app", only to realize that their online chemistry is nothing compared to their offline rivalry.

Dear NYCgirl,
Revenge fantasies, huh? But about this jerk, I completely understand what you mean. See, the other day, I met the most wretched woman.

Perpetually cheerful and eager to please, Gracie Collins strives to make the best out of every situation. So when her father's diagnosis with ALS leaves him unable to run his Midtown Manhattan champagne and gift shop, Gracie sets aside her dreams of pursuing her passion for art to take over as owner of Bubbles & More. She soon realizes the store barely makes enough to cover his medical bills, and, complicating matters even further, a giant corporation is proposing a buyout to turn the space into a parking garage. Even though the money she'd get from selling out would ensure better hospice care for her father, she can't bear the thought of throwing away her father's dream like she did her own.

Despite having a thriving social circle and employees and patrons who adore her, Gracie finds herself seeking advice and solace from someone she's never met - the faceless "SirNYC", whom she connected with on a "blind dating app" dubbed The Anti-Tinder, where matches get to know each other through messages and common interests before exchanging real names or photos.

But although Gracie find herself falling for "SirNYC" online, she has no idea she's already met him in real life, and they can't stand each other...
