The Love Hypothesis

From the bestselling queen of steamy, feel-good romance comes a charming, spicy, holiday love story set in New York City. Window Shopping is cozy, funny, and delightfully swoony — the perfect Christmas-season read.

What It’s About

After a rough past and a fresh second chance, Stella is determined to rebuild her life. Wandering through New York in December, she stops in front of the iconic Vivant department store… and tears apart their window display in her head.

Until a cheerful, bowtie-wearing stranger asks her opinion out loud.

That stranger? Aiden — the store’s new (and very handsome) manager.

Soon Stella is hired to redesign Vivant’s Christmas windows — and working directly under the boss she absolutely should not be falling for. Aiden is sunshine, optimism, and holiday magic. Stella is guarded, artistic, and trying to prove herself.

Opposites attract. Sparks fly. Christmas lights glow.

But love wasn’t part of Stella’s plan… until it was.
