Book Synopsis

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

Falling in love with your husband is anything but convenient in this steamy romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Business or Pleasure.

Dani Dorfman has somehow made it to her thirties without knowing what she wants to do with her life. So when an office romance ends poorly and gets her fired, she applies for a job in Amsterdam, idly dreaming of escaping the mess she's created, but never imagining she'll actually get it.

Except she does. By the end of her first week in Amsterdam, she's never felt more adrift or alone. Then she crashes her bike into her high school ex-boyfriend--and suddenly life is blooming with new opportunities.

Wouter van Leeuwen was a Dutch exchange student Dani's family hosted, a forbidden love that ended in a painful breakup. Years later, there's still sizzling chemistry between them, and okay, maybe a little animosity. More importantly, Wouter needs to be married to inherit a gorgeous family home on a canal--and when Dani's job falls apart, she needs a visa. As the marriage of convenience pushes them together in unexpected ways, Dani must decide whether her new life is yet another mistake--or if it's worth taking a risk on a second chance.

Review Quotes

"What Happens in Amsterdam is the second-chance, marriage-of-convenience romance of my DREAMS. Dani and Wouter's romance blooms with exquisite tension against the backdrop of a tenderly described Amsterdam, and I saw so much of myself in Dani's path to finding--and trusting--herself. Rachel Lynn Solomon is one of my very favorite authors out there, so it's no surprise that her latest easily takes its rightful place on my favorites shelf."--Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of You, With a View

"Every time I start a new Rachel Lynn Solomon romance, I'm reading greedily, tripping over myself to get to the next part, trying to slow myself down so I can savor it as long as possible. What Happens in Amsterdam delivers everything I've come to expect from Rachel: flawed, well-drawn characters; tender, intimate moments of connection; hot, emotional sex scenes; and a thoughtful examination of the world and our place in it. But this book has something extra special about it, too -- it's a love letter to Amsterdam, to the pure sweetness of first love, to the courage it takes to start a new life in a new place or to start over with someone who hurt you once before." --Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of With Love, from Cold World

"Solomon showcases her talent for creating flawed by appealing characters, and it's gratifying to see Dani and Wouter's relationship mature."--Publishers Weekly
