Description
The Lost City meets Friends with Benefits when a struggling lit fic author is told to write spicy romance. With no idea how to even begin, she recruits a charming cover model to help with "research." What starts as professional curiosity turns into wildfire-their chemistry is anything but fictional. But when the publishing stakes heat up, can their partnership survive?
"An engaging lust-to-love comedy of errors with two charming leads."
~Kirkus Reviews
"Compulsively readable romance."
~Publishers Weekly Booklife
"Impressively original, deftly crafted, and a fun read from cover to cover..."
~Midwest Book Review
Novelist Bridget Stanton's life needs a massive rewrite. Between the mortgage on her first home, a perfect if teensy beach cottage, and the cost of feeding her horse-sized dog, she'll never be able to quit her day job. Until it quits her.
Suspended for teaching the suddenly and inequitably banned A Wrinkle in Time, her childhood favorite, she is desperate for a book advance. So she throws herself at the mercy, literally, of her brand new, witty, suave, unflappably charming agent, who has reluctantly inherited her.
His advice: skip the Lit Fic and write steamy romance instead. Has he met her? Actually, no. But Bridget knows nothing about passionate sex. Ever ready with advice, he proposes a solution: research-she needs to get herself a satchel of Richards.
Enter Josh, a wildly successful romance cover model with Hollywood screenwriting dreams. His vivid descriptions have helped numerous authors navigate their spiciest scenes, but Bridget, it seems, needs a more hands-on approach.
As their "research" heats up, she offers him credit on the book--a big break that could help launch his wished-for career. But her publisher balks. The God of Abs cannot share the byline.
Now, Bridget must choose: do it their way and save her way of life or risk it all for a real-life love story.

Person
Lee Taylor lives and writes in one of the most bewitching forests in the Appalachians. She can be found most mornings before daybreak in her "Yome Sweet Yome" (think "yurt" but so much better), loving all the tropes, particularly the ones she turns on their heads. When not writing or hiking, Lee travels the country for a day job she loves and is always on the lookout for an indie bookstore. And if the store is romance only, all the better.
