And it's about to steal hers. Hazel Hart was a successful romance novelist until a break-up drove her straight into writer's block. Having failed (and failed some more) to deliver her new manuscript, her publisher finally lays down the law: if she misses her next deadline, it's The End. Desperate for inspiration, Hazel flees NYC and instead lands in the tiny town of Story Lake, Pennsylvania, enticed by look of a charming new home and convinced that a change of scene is all she needs. That is until she discovers on arrival that 'charm' may have been slightly exaggerated: the house is a wreck, and suddenly the book is the least of her problems. Enter: Campbell Bishop. Six-feet-three inches of grouchy contractor, who might just be the answer to all her troubles - in life, and in writing. Before Hazel knows it, she's writing a romance novel and living one: fake-dating her contractor is giving this burnt-out writer all the inspiration she needs. That is until the drywall dust settles, reality hits, and growly Cam suddenly remembers why - away from their make-believe - he's not actually the one who can provide her happily ever after . . . Get ready to fall in love with this steamy and hilarious romance from the author of the bestselling Knockemout series, packed with sizzling chemistry, small-town charm, and a love story you won't be able to stop thinking about. 😠ENEMIES TO LOVERS - TICK!😍FAKE DATING - TICK!🏡SMALL TOWN ROMANCE - TICK!🏡🌶?LOTS OF SPICE - TICK!🌶?
