Creative rivalry, shared writing, and attraction

A pairing in a creative writing class turns an uneasy rivalry into a productive collaboration: the two students earn high marks on their project, then begin writing erotica together under a pen name. Writing explicit scenes alongside someone who is also the object of attraction gives the story its central tension, while the classroom assignment and shared pseudonym connect the romance to the work of creating fiction. The publisher describes the novel as a standalone romantic comedy focused on sex, love, and writing.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in contemporary rivals-to-lovers romance with comedic framing.
  • Readers who enjoy stories centered on creative collaboration and writing erotica.
  • Adult romance readers comfortable with explicit sexual subject matter.

Book overview

A standalone rivals-to-lovers romantic comedy about sex, love, and the written word, from the New York Times Bestselling Author of The Royals Upstairs and A Nordic King

 

When I first met Blake Crawford, all I wanted to do was hit him in the face.

Maybe the groin.

Okay, maybe I wanted to kiss him too, but that's neither here nor there. I mean, he may have a gorgeous English accent, sexy full lips and an ass I'd like to bite but...

Where was I?

Right.

Being in the same creative writing class, he's the last person I wanted to speak to, let alone be paired up with for my final assignment.

But here comes the kicker...not only did our project end up getting us both As but we found out we work well together.

Really well together.

I hate him and he hates me and yet we churn out gold.

We've started writing self-published erotica under a pen name and let me tell you one thing...

Writing dirty sex scenes with the sexiest, most infuriating man you know is a lot harder than you think.

And keeping our hands off each other?

Well, that's another story...one with an ending I didn't see coming.
