Why we’re excited
Ella Jones expects nothing from another long northern winter until Benjamin Kakoa, a pro athlete turned activist, arrives looking for somewhere quiet to disappear. She decides to win him over with jokes at her own expense, and his guard turns out to be the harder opponent.
Allen's Lights Out was a dark, spicy romance, so a cosy slow burn set in the snow is a real change of pace. It is the first Love and Fame book, which makes it an easy entry point. The publisher hints that the ending will not be all sweetness.

From the publisher
The #1
New York Times
bestselling author of
Lights Out
brings a snowy, slow-burn romance, perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez and B.K. Borison―with beautiful designed edges. Ella Jones knows what to expect from the long, hard winters in the northern reaches of mostly boredom and monotony, broken up with a bit of skiing or quality time spent with her family. Which leaves her utterly unprepared for the arrival of Benjamin Kakoa, a professional athlete turned advocate in need of a break from fame and notoriety. With her world―okay, locally―famous wit and special brand of self-deprecation, Ella goes on a full-blown charm offensive to coax Ben out of his shell. But with a rocky past and an uncertain future, Ben’s walls are tougher to tear down than she could have ever anticipated. And once they fall, Ella and Ben will have to come to terms with the potentially tragic reality of their love.
