Clay Lee leaves Memphis for New York in search of a fresh start, hoping to outrun the ghosts of his family. Within days of arriving, a brief glimpse of a stunning woman sets off a fixation that he never expected to matter so much. That obsession slowly grows into a deeper inquiry into what love really is, and Clay finds himself drawn into a part of the city he had never known.

Louisa Mercer, a sharp-tongued book editor in Manhattan, is stuck on a question she cannot answer. Her relationship with Mia D'Allesandro, a dazzling and unpredictable figure, collapsed for reasons Louisa cannot identify, and she still feels its hold on her. When she comes across a manuscript that mirrors parts of her own experience, she begins working with its author, and the partnership changes them both.

Set against the bright backdrop of New York City, the novel follows the thrilling and painful paths that love opens up for those who win and those who lose at it.
