She never wanted to come back. He never wanted to let her go ...

It was four years ago that Ivy lost everything. Shortly after her mother died, her stepfather packed her off to boarding school because she was constantly arguing with her older stepbrother, Asher.

But suddenly her stepfather wants to see her again this summer and calls her back home to an island on the New Hampshire coast, where she meets Asher once more. He’s still just as unbearable as ever, still just as difficult. And still much too good looking. Damn. Seeing him again bothers her far much more than she had expected. But, when Ivy discovers why she was called back to the island, her world threatens to fall apart completely ...

Nikola Hotel

Nikola Hotel has a great weakness for dark characters and suppressed emotions, which is why her heart is especially attached to the New Adult genre. And this is evident in her emotional yet compelling love stories. Since 2020, each of her books has immediately entered the Spiegel bestseller list upon release. In addition, all her novels have special features, whether it's hand lettering in "It was always you" and "It was always love," a flip book and origami folding instructions in "Ever" and "Blue," or blackout poetry in "Dark Ivy." Nikola lives with her family near Bonn and provides a variety of insights into her writing routine on Instagram. To date, her books have been translated into six languages.
