"The perfect blend of soul-crushing angst, laugh out loud wit, and heart-melting romance.” (Helena Hunting, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author)

From number one Amazon best seller L.J. Shen comes a new, star-crossed lovers romance about loss, love, and meeting The One when you are too young to know how to keep them.

Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours.

A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land.
An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny.
We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together.
Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here.
In New York.
And he’s America’s music obsession.
The intangible Irish poet who brings record executives to their knees.
The blizzard in my perfect, unshaken snow globe.
Last time we spoke, he was a beggar with no intention of becoming a king.
But a king he became, and now I’m his servant.
I’m not the same broken princess Malachy Doherty put back together with his callused hands.
I have a career I love.
A boyfriend I adore.
An apartment, a roommate, a life.
I changed. He changed, too.
But Mal kept the napkin.
Question is, will I keep my word?

A modern tale of tortured souls seeking their happily ever after

When a Jersey girl with a Disney princess’s name travels to rural Ireland to learn the truth about her past, she unexpectedly meets her prince. But Aurora and Malachy have just 24 hours of passion before they must say good-bye, bound only by a promise scribbled on a napkin that they’d reunite permanently if fate ever brought them back together—no seeking each other out allowed. Then reality, as it does, intervenes—along with myriad secrets that threaten their union. Get ready. This steamy listen, elevated by a stellar cast that includes Joe Arden and Shane East, had me chuckling, in a fit of frustration, tearing up, and even cringing at some hilarious asides. It’s a roller-coaster ride of emotions that is totally worthwhile. —Valerie B., Audible Editor

LJ Shen never disappoints. I have to admit I was a little distracted when I started but once I got through the 1st chapter I couldn’t stop. The narrators some if the best and among my favorites. The relationship of Mal and Rory was one a decade in the making all from a one night stand, a promise, misunderstanding and love. Great story to listen to “In The Unlikely Event” you need something to do.

...for the most part. Although this is part of the audible series, some parts went just a bit too far. The overall story was engaging. Almost like a happily ever-after after all the bad stuff.

Kept Me Engaged

Not my favorite author, but I chose the book because I love the narrators, and I am so glad I did. This one hooked me so hard that I was up until 4 a.m. listening. Mal’s character really spoke to me.
