Synopsis for When The
Stars Align:
Anna and Jackson meet their last year in Chapel Hill. She’s
accepted a job at a respected, award-winning advertising agency in New York
City, and he has a position at a prestigious Atlanta firm. Sparks fly, but when
he suggests she change her plans, she’ll have none of it. By the time moving
day comes, they don’t even share goodbyes.
Four years later, Anna and Jackson meet again in New York
City when, thanks to a mutual connection, he moves into her apartment building.
She’s a Creative Director at a medium-sized advertising agency. He’s just moved
from Atlanta to New York to accept a position at a well-respected law firm.
Anna, friendly to everyone, welcomes him to her city.
Jackson has zero interest in repeating past mistakes, and he’s still angry over
what she did years ago. But he’s in a new city, she’s his neighbor, and a
friendship forms.
With a singular focus on making partner and no interest in
exploring a relationship with Anna, Jackson sells her on a friends with
benefits arrangement that won’t take them off course. In his mind, it’s a
win-win. What could go wrong?
The arrangement works until Anna battles sexual
harassment at her agency and the two don’t see eye to eye on how to handle it.
Anna cares about her career, and Jackson knows the law and plans to leverage
it. The situation forces Jackson to face some realities about his father and
life choices. Anna has zero intention of letting him tell her what to do. Both
find themselves wondering if they should step back once again and wait for a
better day, when their relationship makes sense. A day when the stars align
Excerpt:
Chewie and I only have to wait a minute for the elevator. We walk
in, and I hum a bit as I scratch her floppy mass of hair. The elevator door
slides to close. A hand shoots through the gap to force the door open. I
tighten my grip on Chewie’s leash as she attempts to lunge forward to say
hello. “Chewie!” I scold.
I grip the leash tightly to keep her at my side. Once I
have my shaggy girl under control, I raise my head and see the man standing on
the threshold of the elevator. My mouth drops open. My lungs contract.
Hazel eyes I haven’t seen in four years stare back at me.
The blue-gray suit offsets those chameleon eyes, casting a bluer hue. The
short, trimmed beard makes him appear older and more distinguished. The dark,
curly, college student hair, now cut in a shorter, controlled, professional
style, says business.
My skin tingles. From shock or from being in his presence
again, I’m not sure.
Jackson’s eyes flick between me and my rambunctious, shaggy
brown beast. “Anna?”
“Jackson?” Chewie attempts to jump on him, and I give a
quick pull on the leash and command, “Sit.” I close my mouth, but I’m still
gaping. How could I not be? Jackson lives in Atlanta. I never thought I’d see
him again. That door closed.
