THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME Ruby Keller is going rogue, or at least that's the hashtag she's using to document her vacation: #RubyGoesRogue. Illness kept her confined to her bedroom for much of her childhood, and as a result, she's always played it safe, hiding behind her laptop and overanalyzing every decision. When a friend's wedding takes her to London, she decides to push herself out of her comfort zone and take an uncharted adventure on her own...no laptop, no itinerary, and no one to get in her way. A chance run-in with a handsome British stranger was definitely not on the agenda... Flynn Bowen travels the globe for his family's chain of upscale hotels and resorts. He's struggled to find his place within the business, so when his parents allow him to oversee the construction of a new location in Dubai, he's determined not to let them down. When he meets Ruby, he's enchanted by her passion and bravery, not to mention the chemistry between them. If circumstances were different, he could fall for this vivacious American beauty, but fate has only given them one magical day together. Can they find a way to grab their chance at love, or will geography-and their own inhibitions-tear them apart?
