Two weeks. A simple deal. A pair of polar opposite strangers. What could go wrong?

Gemma DeLuca wants nothing more than to be a writer. The only issue? She's stuck working as a copy editor and dog-sitting on the side to make ends meet. Things start looking up when her side hustle lands her in an Upper East Side penthouse for two weeks, while her ultra-wealthy clients vacation in France. Between their thousand-thread count sheets, her own king-sized bed, and an adorable lapdog to look after, it feels like the gig of a lifetime.

Until her client's brother shows up in the middle of the night, expecting the place to be empty. Elias Kaplan is handsome, arrogant, and a certified player: exactly the kind of guy Gemma avoids at all costs. To make matters worse, he needs a place to stay?but doesn't want his brother to know he's crashing at his place.

So when Gemma's boss assigns her a test-run article on a topic she knows nothing about, she strikes a deal with Elias: she won't rat him out if he helps her write about one-night stands.

What was supposed to be a temporary arrangement quickly turns into something more as Gemma gets glimpses of the man behind that charming smile, and finds they have more in common than she thought. Except something more isn't what either of them is looking for?no matter how many times they might wake up in the same bed.

Heaven Off East 82nd is a closed-door romcom with sizzle but no spice, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Julianne Baclayanto is a hopeless romantic who writes books filled with anticipation, butterflies, and an abundance of fun. After being frequently described as "overly chatty" by friends, family, and teachers alike, she has decided to commit some of those never-ending words to paper and write the kind of stories that make your heart skip a beat. She currently lives in Ontario, Canada with her wonderful husband and beautiful new baby, and can probably be found rage-quitting Mario Kart whenever she's not writing.
