A heartbroken romance novelist is forced to address her writer's block when the villainous cowboy character from her books shows up in the real world… Get ready to fall in love with the magical new romcom from the bestselling author of The Love of My Afterlife! Gertie Bickerstaff writes happily-ever-afters for a living… or she did, until her own love life fell apart. Now her ex is thriving, her deadline is looming, and she can't write a single word. The last thing she needs is more drama-like waking up to find a confused and rugged cowboy on her sofa. And not just any cowboy, but River Oakley, the villain from her unfinished novel. Somehow very real… and very shirtless. River wants to go home. Gertie wants her life back. So they strike a deal: he'll use his cunning ways to help her win back her ex, she'll finish the novel, and surely, he'll return to whatever world he rode in from. But as River Oakley proves to be so much more than just the bad guy, Gertie has to choose: the ending she thought she wanted… or the plot twist she never saw coming.
