A BRAND NEW LOVE AFFAIR FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER AND SMASH-HIT MOVIE THE IDEA OF YOU

LOS ANGELES, 2015
When Cecilia Chen is involved in a car accident soon after moving to LA with her husband and children, she’s stunned to recognise the other driver: Anouk Ferrand – a woman she hasn’t seen in twenty years, yet has never been able to forget.
MEXICO, 1996

Cecilia was a young photographer’s assistant; Anouk, an unknown model on the cusp of becoming a sensation. For a few brief days on the wild Mexican coast, their worlds collided with an intensity that altered the course of Cecilia’s life – though she never knew whether Anouk felt it, or even remembered her.
Now Anouk is impossible to ignore: magnetic, accomplished, and suddenly back in Cecilia’s orbit. And as the spark between them reignites into an irresistible affair, Cecilia is forced to confront everything she knew about desire, devotion and the life she has built.
Some affairs are decades in the making – and this one is about to change everything.

Critics Review

An illicit romance. The sins of the fashion world. A mysterious past. With Crash Into Me, Robinne Lee weaves a sensual, captivating story that’s so deliciously propulsive, I pushed “pause” on my entire life to read it. Such elegant writing! Robinne Lee has created magic, once again
Tia Williams, New York Times bestselling author of The Missed Connection
I absolutely loved this beautifully written book which mixes thoughts about race, class, beauty, art and relationships with an edge of your seat story about love, betrayal, secrets, and learning to inhabit your own self. It felt like a book for grown ups - thought-provoking and compelling. Robinne Lee effortlessly creates layers that draw you in while also giving an insight into the worlds of Hollywood, French cinema, art exhibitions and modelling, all set against the context of an era in which society is facing some uncomfortable truths. I was gripped
Ellie Levenson, author of Room 706
The author of The Idea of You knows about slow-burn lust, and this is as dizzying as you'd expect
Heat
Robinne Lee is back with a book that defies the genre. The book establishes Lee’s trademarks as a writer. She favors luxurious settings with international backdrops where sex is inevitable but stability isn’t. Her characters are sophisticated, rich, worldly, and driven by their passion. Her sex scenes are visceral and well crafted
New York Magazine
Robinne Lee returns with another boundary pushing romance
Harper's Bazaar
Robinne Lee’s Crash Into Me is the kind of novel you want to devour in one sitting, but savour it slowly because you never want it to end. From the first page you know you’re in for a ride that promises mystery, desire, and danger, both emotional and physical. As if that weren’t enough, Lee delivers sharp observations on Otherness and belonging, the rabid cultural consumption of Beauty, les temps perdus, and the toxicity of the privileged. Make no mistake, in Lee form it is sexy as hell. Or Heaven as the case may be
Jennifer Beals
Actor and author Robinne Lee delivers erotic suspense as glittery and sensuous as Tinsel Town itself
TIME Magazine
I didn't think I'd love any book as much as The Idea of You, but this is a devastatingly good follow-up. Rarely does a novel move with such intoxicating confidence - at once sensual and sharp, every sentence gliding with purpose. The language shimmers, the pace refuses to loosen its grip. A gorgeously written, utterly propulsive read.
Laura Jane Williams, bestselling author of Our Stop
