"Welcome to New York's Upper East Side and a building with a burgundy red awning, where neighbours and friends become family. Eve and Johnnie Gallagher are starting a new life in Apartment 7A. It should be a happy time but since leaving England, Eve has felt lost and lonely. The sun begins to shine, though, when she joins the Building Beautifying Committee, chaired by elderly neighbour Violet. And the building itself is warming up thanks to the tangled emotions of its residents. The Kramers and the Schulmans in Apartments 6A and 6B find their lives intersecting in unexpected ways when unhappiness at home leads Jason Kramer to fall head-over-heels for Rachael Schulman. Meanwhile, downstairs in 5A, Jackson Grayling III has eyes only for the intriguing Emily Mikanowski in 3A, even though his wealth is a magnet for hard-nosed Madison Cavanagh in 2B. And as for shy romance addict Charlotte Murphy in 2A, she's crazy about the doorman but too wrapped up in her dreams to take the next step. No one is left unchanged as the secrets and desires hidden behind closed doors are finally brought into the light. This magical tale will break your heart . . . and piece it back together again."--Publisher.

Psychological fiction.
