Description
The Hating Game meets Book Lovers in this sexy and hilarious rivals-to-lovers romance!
Rosie Maxwell has a plan: move to New York, get her creative writing degree from NYU, become a bestselling romance writer. But that plan is derailed when she ends up in class with her archnemesis and ex-crush, Aiden Huntington, an obnoxious, surly, unreasonably gorgeous literary fiction writer who has no patience for romance - or for Rosie.
Exhausted by Rosie and Aiden's constant verbal sparring, their professor gives them an ultimatum: leave her class, or cowrite a novel that blends their respective genres.
As Rosie and Aiden collaborate on their (accidentally steamy) novel, they try to put their differences aside. Could their manuscript-in-progress be just the outlet they need to confess their feelings - and explore their mutual attraction?
But a potentially career-changing opportunity soon reignites the flames of their old rivalry. Rosie and Aiden's once-in-a-lifetime love story is once again at risk of being shelved - unless they can find a way to end the book on their own terms . . .
Tropes:
??Rivals to lovers
??Grumpy x Sunshine
??He falls first
??Forced proximity
??Slow Burn
??Small town FMC
??Big City MMC
