The Exception to the Rule

by Christina Lauren · 2024

On Valentine’s Day a typo sends an accidental email to a stranger, sparking a yearly tradition of anonymous digital dates. Over the years the two correspondents share holiday wishes, stories, and gradually break the rules they set—no pictures, no real names, no personal details. Their email "dates" evolve into a deep connection, leading them to wonder if they should finally meet in person. Christina Lauren’s novella, part of the Improbable Meet‑Cute series, delivers a sweet, contemporary romance that can be read in one sitting.
