For fans of Carley Fortune, this is a funny, smart, complicated second-chance romance set in Prince Edward County

When down-on-love screenwriter Elise Hunter moves to idyllic Prince Edward County for the summer, the last thing she expects is to fall for not one but two attractive suitors. But will she find the kind of romance she’s so good at writing about? And if so, who will she choose?

Elise’s passion is making movies, but while she excels at writing romance, she’s not interested in dating losers just so she can be in a relationship—she has bigger plans.

Unfortunately, those plans fall through when she’s unexpectedly fired on set, right in front of Ben, the charming star. But a chance encounter with him during her sister’s bachelorette party presents an opportunity: Ben offers to be her fake wedding date to appease her nightmare mother, if Elise will be the writing teacher at Ben’s family theatre camp in beautiful Prince Edward County. The deal is on!

She gives herself the summer to figure out who she wants to be, not to mention have some sexy experiences to fuel her writing. But on the day she moves into the idyllic lakefront summer cabin, she discovers that her neighbour is the first man she ever fell in love with. Dave is just as handsome as she remembers, but he also once ghosted her. Can she trust him again? Or is Ben the better choice?

As Elise tries to work through her unresolved feelings for Dave, her fake feelings for Ben start to feel real, leaving her torn between the love of her life and the opportunity to start over with someone new.
