The Hating Game meets One Plus One by JoJo Moyes in The Invitation, a slow burn, heated, emotional standalone from #1 New York Times bestseller, Vi Keeland. The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was. You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadn’t actually been addressed to me—it was sent to my ex-roommate who’d bounced a check for two months’ rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding. Once caught, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might’ve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail. Outside, I jumped into a taxi. My heart ricocheted against my ribs as we drove down the block—but at least I’d escaped unscathed. Or so I thought. Until I realized I’d left my cell phone behind at the table. Take one guess who found it? This is the crazy story of how Hudson Rothschild and I met. But trust me, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Why we love this
- The Ultimate Meet-Cute: Crashing a swanky wedding just to get back at a deadbeat ex-roommate? Iconic. Accidentally having off-the-charts chemistry with the gorgeous groomsman while doing it? Even better.
- Cinderella with a Twist: Fleeing the scene with stolen bottles of champagne instead of a glass slipper—and leaving a cell phone behind for the hero to find—is a hilarious, modern twist on a classic escape.
- Electric Banter: The tension between getting caught in a lie and being completely mesmerized by Hudson Rothschild makes the opening of this book absolutely impossible to put down.
- Slow-Burn to Sizzle: Vi Keeland is a master at balancing laugh-out-loud rom-com shenanigans with deep, emotional, slow-burn tension that really pays off.
- Gorgeous Deluxe Details: This specific edition features stunning hot pink sprayed edges! It is a beautiful, eye-catching addition to any romance reader's shelf.
