From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst,
discover Book of the Month…
She’s desperate for another bestseller… and she’ll go to any length to get it. Even if it means sacrificing
her pride to chase the hottest bachelor in town and get him to break her heart…
Once the literary world’s golden girl, Aspen Lourde can’t
seem to produce another successful book, and the pressure’s on to prove she’s
not just a one-hit-wonder. But there’s a catch: her bestseller was a heartbreak
hit, straight from her own love life disaster. Without any fresh romantic
turmoil to fuel her pen, Aspen needs inspiration quick enough to create a book
her agent can sell to her publisher. So she escapes for the summer to the Outer
Banks with a plan to live a story worth writing.
Brick Babel is a romance novelist’s dream: a local heartthrob
with a reputation as wild as the horses running free in the town. He’s
everything Aspen needs for a muse kickstart—gorgeous, moody, and notoriously unattainable. His affairs
are legendary in the small town, and every woman warns her off, including her
sister.
Too bad a good heartbreak is exactly what she needs to meet
her deadline.
But Brick refuses to play the game, rejecting all of her
advances. When Aspen hears his tour company is on the verge of bankruptcy, she
offers him a deal: fake a whirlwind summer romance, then ditch her, drama
guaranteed.
Desperate to save his grandfather’s business, Brick agrees to
the ridiculous deal. What starts as a contractual fling spirals out of control
as lines blur and real feelings emerge. Brick’s falling hard, and Aspen’s
rethinking her plot twist. The novel might be her ticket back to the top, but
at what cost?
Because Aspen’s finally found her muse, but some stories may
be too true to share.
Book of the Month isn’t just about finding love where you
least expect it.
It’s about finding yourself in the pages of life’s unexpected
chapters.
Aspen is an author with a bit of writer's block. Not really a block. It's more like her fans and publisher want something different than her last two romances. They want a sequel to her first book - her huge bestseller.
Off she goes to her sister's beach house to get inspired.
I would so want to watch the movie!
