Never Lasting

A scorching-hot romance about what happens when you break a golden rule: Don’t get hooked on your hookup.

When Lucy, a recent NYU law grad with plans to work abroad, and James, a caterer who dreams of opening a small-town restaurant, indulge in a summer fling, they know there’s an expiration date: They’ll be moving to opposite sides of the planet in six weeks. But is their fantasy sexcapade screwed when real feelings get in the way? Or do they let whatever is blossoming between them trump their career ambitions?

Angela Bourassa is a screenwriter, mom, 2020 Black List writer, PAGE Gold Prize winner, and two-time Austin Film Festival finalist. Never Lasting is her debut novella.
