Romance, rivalry, and a shared manuscript

Rosie arrives in New York hoping to build a writing career, only to find herself in a workshop with Aiden, a former crush whose literary-fiction ambitions clash with her romance-writing ideals. Their professor’s challenge—to write a novel blending their genres—turns their arguments into collaboration, while the manuscript gives them a way to approach feelings they struggle to express directly. A competition for a career-changing opportunity brings their rivalry back into play, linking the couple’s romantic prospects to the creative partnership they have been asked to build. The setup brings together a writing-workshop setting, a romance between creative rivals, and a Peruvian American protagonist pursuing her ambitions away from her Tennessee hometown.

Book overview

DECEMBER 2024 INDIE NEXT PICK!
LIBRARYREADS TOP PICK FOR DECEMBER!

Rosie writes romance novels and listens to Taylor Swift on loop. Aiden is a literary fiction writer who doesn't believe in happy endings. They're about to write a book together--what could go wrong?

The Hating Game meets Beach Read in this sexy and hilarious enemies-to-lovers romance from a debut Peruvian-Tennessean voice.


Rosie, an idealistic and passionate Peruvian American, leaves her Tennessee hometown to pursue her dream of making it in New York as a writer. But her plan is derailed when she ends up in class with her archnemesis and ex-crush, Aiden Huntington--an obnoxious, surly, and gorgeous literary fiction writer who doesn't have much patience for the romance genre or for Rosie.

Rosie and Aiden regularly go to verbal battle in workshop until their professor reaches her breaking point. She allows them to stay in her class on one condition: they must cowrite a novel that blends their genres.

The reluctant writing duo can't help but put pieces of themselves into their accidentally steamy novel, and their manuscript-in-progress provides an outlet for them to confess their feelings--and explore their attraction toward each other.

When Rosie and Aiden find themselves competing against each other for a potentially career-changing opportunity, the flames of old rivalry reignite, and their 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.
