So she escapes for the summer to the Outer Banks with a plan to live a story worth writing.

Heās everything Aspen needs for a muse kickstartāgorgeous, 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.

Brickās falling hard, and Aspenās rethinking her plot twist. The novel might be her ticket back to the top, but at what cost? Because Aspenās finally found her muse, but some stories may be too true to share.
Book of the Month isnāt just about finding love where you least expect it. Itās about finding yourself in the pages of lifeās unexpected chapters.
