It’s Different This Time

Book cover for 'It's Different This Time' by Joss Richard depicting two young people, one sitting on the stairs holding a coffee, and the other standing with arms crossed, outside a red brick building with vibrant orange trees in fall foliage.

In this sweeping, second-chance romance, a twist of fate forces two former roommates back into their beloved New York City brownstone, where they must confront the events that led to their estrangement—and the unresolved feelings lingering between them.
