Launch Day: If Paris Were My Lover by Martina NicollsWhat if Paris were my lover? Paris, the city? …
Today is the day! If Paris Were My Lover is officially out in the world. This journey began as a whisper – a lingering question about the ways we fall in love, not just with people, but with places, memories, and the versions of ourselves that only exist in certain corners of the world. For me, that place has been Paris. This book is a love affair told in fragments. It is for those who have ever wandered through a city and felt something shift deep inside. It is for those who know that some places call to us like an unfinished sentence, waiting to be completed. Paris is more than a postcard or a perfect café table. It is a city that mirrors our own complexities—the contradictions of beauty and solitude, passion and melancholy, adventure and stillness. In these pages, I have woven together fiction, memories and poetry, crafting a story that invites you to ask: What if a city could love you back? Early readers have called If Paris Were My Lover "a literary love letter with a heartbeat" and "a book that lingers like a favorite song on repeat." It has been described as a blend of nostalgia and possibility, of intimacy and adventure. But most of all, readers tell me how it makes them feel.

À Bientôt, Paris – As I launch this book, I hope it finds its way to those who need it most. I hope it reminds you that love—whether for a person, a city, or a fleeting moment—is always worth the risk. And most of all, I hope it stirs something in you, the way Paris has always stirred something in me. With gratitude and excitement, Martina

It’s not just about thinking outside the box—it’s about working with the box you have and still creating something new.
