Birthday Girl

She has only one wish, and it must not come true. A forbidden love romance about longing and the courage to fulfill even forbidden desires to find happiness. After "Punk 57," the second major TikTok sensation from bestselling author Penelope Douglas is finally available in German!

Jordan has never had it easy in life. She has been abandoned by everyone who should have loved her, and she had to stand on her own two feet from a young age. During the day, she studies landscape architecture, and in the evenings, she works as a waitress in a bar to make ends meet. When she goes to the movies alone on her birthday (once again), she meets Pike. He is divorced, lives alone, and has also been let down by everyone he has ever loved.

Jordan and Pike feel a connection from the very first moment. But it’s not just the age difference that stands between them, and they know they need to stop thinking about each other. When Jordan’s life suddenly falls apart, she unexpectedly finds support and even a new home with Pike. She feels safe with him, and she knows that Pike is there for her, even if he doesn’t say it. She sees it in his eyes when he sits at breakfast in the morning. And when he comes home in the evening, Jordan feels her heart race. Both fight against their budding love and physical attraction. Until they can’t anymore.
