Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

She reads birth charts. He reads the markets. Neither of them saw this coming.Kaede Tanaka tells fortunes for anxious twenty-somethings out of a Brooklyn coffee shop, lets them pay whatever they can, and posts a calm online that her bank account cannot back up. The last thing she needs is a burned-out finance bro flicking a five-dollar bill across her table and demanding the stars hand him a stock tip.Jax Sterling is a disowned heir who trades alone out of a sublet and is one reckless bet away from proving his father right. He did not expect a girl with a pendulum to read his rising sign in nine seconds and crack him wide open.Then his sarcastic napkin tip pays her rent, and they strike a deal that should not work. She reads the cosmic timing, he reads the charts, and together they start building something neither of their families ever believed they could. Three rules keep it honest: never bet what you cannot lose, never sell certainty to scared people, and never mistake revenge for a plan.The trouble is everything they are each already carrying. Kaede is still tangled in a twelve-year relationship that has spent years quietly making her smaller, with her own family firmly on his side. Jax is still trading to force the people who erased him to finally look. And a smiling app founder is circling with an offer big enough to save them both, if they are willing to become the exact thing they swore they never would.Then one all-or-nothing trade detonates everything they have built, and the only way back is for both of them to stop performing for the people who decided who they were, and choose, out loud, who they actually are.Falling for each other was never part of the forecast.Written in the Tickers is a witty, swoony, slow-burn-to-open-door New Adult romance about astrology and money, found family and self-worth, and the difference between predicting your fate and choosing it. Some things are written in the stars.
