Synopsis

Includes a special introduction by USA TODAY bestselling author, Mia Sosa, author of The Worst Best Man and The Wedding Crasher!

It’s the end of the world as they know it—or so they think…

When an international warning siren accidentally goes off, convincing everyone that a meteor shower may just be the end of life as they know it, six couples—friends, exes, crushes and rivals—must take shelter. Inhibitions are abandoned, confessions are made and love blossoms, but what happens when the world doesn’t end?

Filled with humor, heat and hope, this riveting collection of interconnected multicultural stories by acclaimed authors Lane Clarke, Farah Heron, Taj McCoy, Charish Reid, Sarah Smith and Denise Williams beautifully explores the secrets we carry with us—and the joy we discover when we let go and reach for the stars.Two NASA specialist exes forced to reunite under pressure.Competing food stall owners face no escape—from each other or their shared past.Two law students learn just how strongly opposites attract between the library stacks.A pair of literature lovers confront long-held feelings under the covers of a bookstore bunker.A songwriter discovers her newly hired contractor hits all the right notes.Trapped on campus, former college rivals entertain their reignited spark.
