The RSVP follows Harlow Granger as she returns from a semester in Paris determined to stop being the “good girl” in her powerful father’s shadow—and to finally act on the forbidden attraction she’s nursed for Bridger James, her father’s business partner. Bridger is older, emotionally guarded, and intensely disciplined, and the very rule he lives by is the one Harlow is bent on breaking.
As Harlow schemes her way into Bridger’s orbit through an internship at Lucky 21, their chemistry turns from flirtation to complicit intimacy—secret meetings, private jokes, and stolen touches that quickly escalate into something deeper. But the closer they get, the more their love collides with the reality of Ian Granger’s control, reputation, and serial betrayals. When secrets erupt publicly, Harlow and Bridger must decide what they’re willing to lose to finally choose each other.
