An impulsive trip to New York City, a heartthrob from London, and a scandalous to-do list turn a small-town girlâs life upside down in this sultry romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Truly and About Last Night.
Allie Fredericks isnât supposed to be in Manhattan, hiding in the darkest corner of a hip bar, spying on her own motherâwhoâs flirting with a man whoâs definitely not Allieâs father. Allieâs supposed to be in Wisconsin, planning her parentsâ milestone anniversary party. Then Winston Chamberlain walks through the door, with his tailored suit, British accent, and gorgeous eyes, and Allieâs strange mission goes truly sideways.
Winston doesnât do messy. But after a pretty stranger ropes him into her ridiculous family drama with a fake kiss that gets a little too real, he finds out that messy can be fun. Maybe even a little addicting. And as the night grows longer, Allie and Winston make a list of other wild things they could do togetherâand what seems like a mismatch leads to a genuine connection. But can their relationship survive as their real lives implode just outside the bedroom door?
Praise for Madly
âWhat [Ruthie] Knox does so well is create these wonderful, emotionally wounded, real characters for us to relate to and root for and love. Thereâs relationship drama, family revelations and more, as through this love story we take a look at identity, who we really are, and how weâre seen by everyoneâfrom those closest to us to strangers. A real treat.ââRT Book Reviews
âA lovely story about unlikely lovers and family responsibilities and the secrets that families keep and those that nearly tear them apart. The secondary characters have their chance to shine and contribute to the happy ending. Highly recommended for all romance readers looking to be swept away.ââLibrary Journal (starred review)

âAn original, entertaining, sensitively written and thought-provoking read.ââI Love Romantic Fiction
âIt was a delight to read Knoxâs thoughtful prose again and to enjoy Allie and Winstonâs antics as their romance rockets from unexpected attraction . . . to something truly special, something worth taking a chance on even if it seems a little mad to everyone else.ââImmersed in Books
âThis was the perfect book for me on a weekend where I was laid up with both a cold and a bruised leg. I was feeling out of sorts in so many possible directions, and Ruthie took me away to her New York for a whirlwind tour. Like so many of the authorâs previous stories, this is a romance between two people who simply shouldnât work together, but absolutely do. It just takes them a while to recognize it.ââReading Reality (five stars)
