Men & Martinis

"When small-town dreams clash with big city hearts, Natalie's in for one wild New York minute."
I moved to the bustling maze of NYC to escape the label everyone back home stamped on me: the reckless little sister. You'd think the towering skyscrapers, neon lights, and endless sea of yellow cabs would be intimidating. But for this country girl? It's a challenge I'm all too ready to embrace.
Amidst crazy parties, whirlwind friendships, and New York bagels, I finally found my place - a killer job in the heart of Manhattan. I also found him. CJ, with his sharp suits, sharper wit, and a smile that could stop New York traffic. One teeny, tiny issue? He's not just some city boy I can flirt with over coffee breaks - he's my off-limits coworker. Yep, cue dramatic music.
My heart says, "Go for it!" but my brain reminds me of the iron-clad rule at work: No Dating. Period. Not even if he looks like he stepped out of my wildest dreams.
But the city lights shimmer, the subways rattle, and between secret glances and accidental touches, the lines of professionalism blur. I'm trying my best to stay in the friend-zone, but the heart wants what it wants. Especially in a city as unpredictable as New York.
Do I risk it all for love? Or do I put my dream job and new life first? Decisions, decisions...
Jump into this whirlwind romance that's Bridget Jones meets Sex and the City, but with that sweet 90's nostalgia. Let's face it: in the city that never sleeps, Natalie might be up all night making choices!
