Summer in the City by Alex Aster

Sometimes inspiration shows up when you least want to face the past.

Summer in the City follows Elle, a struggling screenwriter who returns to New York City hoping to overcome a crushing case of writer’s block and finish the screenplay that could change her career. But her carefully planned fresh start is immediately disrupted when she discovers her new neighbor is Parker Warren—a billionaire tech entrepreneur and the unforgettable stairwell hookup she never expected to see again.

As summer in the city heats up, so does the tension between them. Alex Aster delivers a sparkling romantic comedy filled with witty banter, forced proximity, and big New York energy. With its blend of ambition, chemistry, and second-chance tension, this story explores creativity, vulnerability, and the risks of opening your heart.
