Lost then Found in New York by Maaike Nota

Lara is on her way from London to New York City. She's going to study at the Fashion Institute and is very excited to explore everything the City has to offer.

Upon touchdown she stumbles into a handsome young man at the luggage belt. He steadies her and she catches a glimpse of his gorgeous brown eyes, but he is dressed unrecognizably, almost like he doesn't want people to know who he is.

Stepping off the escalator at Penn Station, onto the gray sidewalks with yellow cabs and the Empire State Building reaching high into the sky; her dream is coming true.

However, meeting her roommate is not what she expected it to be, and decisions have to be made. An encounter with a cute pup named Hero and a kind old lady, Patti, in Central Park, together with meeting a fabulous friend in school, might turn things around.

And then of course there are those captivating eyes again, just like that, in Levain Bakery on the Upper West Side, making her all the more curious. When those eyes are staring at her from a billboard in Times Square, things start making sense, and an adventure awaits.
