When romance-novel obsessed ghost writer Katie Caruso waits in a New York City café to meet her next writing partner, the last person in the world she expects to see is Tyler McNally.

Ivy League-educated, aspiring literary fiction novelist and verified yearner Tyler McNally. Handsome, sleeve-tattooed, nine-years-sober Tyler McNally. And, unforgettably, her very own childhood sweetheart, Tyler McNally. The pair haven't seen each other since the death of Katie's older brother. Tyler was her brother's best friend and Katie - naturally - was the girl next door.

But despite both their bitter complaints at the reunion, the agent who hired them won't let them off the job. Soon, they're working on their co-written romance novel in forced proximity, and finding that isn't the only written trope that's coming to life. . .

This fresh, playful and deeply romantic novel openly acknowledges the role of tropes - before nonetheless going on to use them to tell a searing love story of it's own...
