She came for a job. What she'll get is the performance of a lifetime.
Aspiring playwright Winnie D'Angelo has spent the past seven years waiting in the wings, working as a personal assistant to celebrated, feminist playwright, Juliette Brassard. But when an experimental theatre company in London, England decides to stage Juliette's most renowned play, accompanying her mentor across the pond could finally be Winnie's moment in the spotlight-assuming everything goes smoothly. And with Juliette's very charming and very off-limits British (hello, hot accent!) nephew suddenly in Winnie's flustered orbit, what could possibly go wrong?
Smart, handsome, and sweet, Liam is everything Winnie didn't expect from what's turning out to be an increasingly hectic work trip, but his family ties to Winnie's boss pose a serious problem. Still, Winnie is falling for him. Hard. How could she not when the guy's kisses are worthy of a thousand encores? But with Juliette stubbornly butting heads with the play's director, Winnie knows that more than anything, the show must go on, even if it comes at the expense of her own work-and her burgeoning relationship with a guy she suspects might always hold her heart, even from half a world away.
A hilarious romcom for fans of Beach Read and The Hating Game
Inspiration can be found in the most unlikely - and inconvenient - places
Kara Sullivan is definitely not avoiding her deadline. After all, it's the week of her best friend's wedding and she's the maid of honour, so she's got lots of responsibilities. She's a bestselling romance novelist with seven novels under her belt, so she's a pro. Looming deadlines don't scare her, and neither does writer's block, which she most certainly does not have. She's just eager to support Cristina as she ties the knot. Right? Right.
But then who should show up at the rehearsal dinner but Kara's college ex-boyfriend, Ryan? Turns out he's one of the groom's childhood friends, and he's in the wedding party, too. Considering neither Kara nor Ryan were prepared to see each other ever again, it's decidedly a meet-NOT-cute. However, when Kara sits down to write again the next day, her writer's block is suddenly gone. Are muses real? And is Kara's muse . . . Ryan?
