When Ivy Met Adam by Jennifer J. Coldwater When I met Ali, I thought I’d won the girlfriend jackpot. She was not only tall, dark, and hot AF, but also charming, funny, and kind. We met at first-year student orientation in our dorm. Four years later, Ali broke my heart when she determined—without consulting me—that we should go our separate ways. “You’re going to law school and I’m going to medical school. We’ll both be so busy for the next eight years, Ivy. I don’t want to hold you back.” Now, more than a decade of single status later, my internal alarm clock has started going off every nine minutes. “I think I’m going to get back on the apps,” I tell my sister Iris. The first person I match with is Adam. He’s everything I never knew I wanted: snarky, biting humor, super serious. And his photos are steamy—he’s built like a swimmer, all abs and arms. We set our first date for New Year’s Eve. (Because who's afraid of Cuffing Season?) As fate would have it, it won't even be that long before I fall into his arms... And learn we have a truly heartbreaking history. Loosely based on the Bible story of Eve, When Ivy Met Adam is the second in a collection of biblical women’s stories retold as contemporary romance. When Ivy Met Adam is an LGBT+, dual POV, second chance, forced proximity, love-triangle standalone romance.
