Can Freya fix Jake's reputation without losing her heart?

Assistant literary agent Freya Harrison never thought her chance at a big break would look like this: at a swanky romance conference in New York, managing the agency's most insufferable client.

Sure, Jake Richards is a global best-selling author, adored by all his fans. But on meeting him, Freya finds him arrogant, condescending, and, worst of all, a complete phony.

After being overheard calling romance ‘easy money' and his readers ‘fools', Jake's reputation is tanking. And it's Freya's job to clean up the mess – and maybe, finally prove her worth to her boss.

But with Jake one slip away from another PR disaster, doubts are starting to set in. Can she survive this week without losing her mind – or her heart?

This spicy romance will have you laughing out loud one moment and crying happy tears the next, perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry and B. K . Borison.
