Description

'Prepare to be swept off your feet' B.K. Borison
'This one is special, and I'm going to think about it forever, probably' Lyla Sage


In this lush, slowburn romance, two heartsick exes unite to co-write a romance novel, and soon realise that the tropes they're writing go well beyond the page . . .

When romance-novel obsessed ghost writer Katie Caruso waits in a New York City café to meet her next writing partner, the last person in the world she expects to see is her own ex-childhood sweetheart, Tyler McNally.

Years of heartache and yearning have only strengthened the forcefield that seems to exist between them, and time has done little to heal the rift. The pair haven't seen each other since the tragic death of Katie's older brother. Tyler was her brother's best friend, and Katie - naturally - was the girl next door.
But despite both their bitter complaints at the reunion, the agent who hired them won't let them off the job.

Soon, they're working on their co-written romance novel in forced proximity, and realising that's not the only written trope that's coming to life . . .
