Dani is certain Amsterdam is just temporary.

But could the charming quirks of her new city, and a second chance at love, become her reasons to stay?

Praise for this book

"This is Rachel Lynn Solomon in top form. Sensitive, sexy, emotional, and deeply clever. A romantic masterclass in yearning." - Tarah DeWitt

"What Happens in Amsterdam is the second-chance, marriage-of-convenience romance of my DREAMS. Dani and Wouter's romance blooms with exquisite tension against the backdrop of a tenderly described Amsterdam, and I saw so much of myself in Dani's path to finding - and trusting - herself. Rachel Lynn Solomon is one of my very favorite authors out there, so it's no surprise that her latest easily takes its rightful place on my favorites shelf." - Jessica Joyce

"Every time I start a new Rachel Lynn Solomon romance, I'm reading greedily, tripping over myself to get to the next part, trying to slow myself down so I can savor it as long as possible. What Happens in Amsterdam delivers everything I've come to expect from Rachel: flawed, well-drawn characters; tender, intimate moments of connection; hot, emotional sex scenes; and a thoughtful examination of the world and our place in it. But this book has something extra special about it, too -- it's a love letter to Amsterdam, to the pure sweetness of first love, to the courage it takes to start a new life in a new place or to start over with someone who hurt you once before." - Alicia Thompson
