You've Got This

What if what you really need is right there in front of you, if you just take a moment to look up? Milly has been waiting for this moment forever and finally it's just an hour away - an interview with Vogue magazine and the opportunity to get her Louboutin-clad foot in the door. There's just one problem - totally engrossed in her mobile phone, Milly doesn't see the bus that is fast approaching - until it's too late... When Milly next opens her eyes, the consequences of her accident become clear. Everything she has worked for and dreamed of suddenly feels out of reach. But there is one bright spot on her horizon - the reappearance of her ex Jed, in all of his six-foot-four, broad-shouldered glory, with the most piercing ice blue eyes Milly ever saw. Once used to working in a whirlwind, Milly now has the chance to reconsider how to live. Will she rush back to the treadmill, get her head down and back to business, or is there a whole other life waiting for her, if she'll just look up to see it?
