From the old steel mills of Pittsburgh to the picturesque
hills of Scotland, romance novels save the day in RITA
Award–winning author Gwyn Cready's fun and sensuous take on
literature and modern-day love.
When snobbish book critic Ellery Sharpe screws up at
Vanity Place magazine, her boss assigns her the
ultimate punishment: write an ode to romance novels, a genre
she considers the literary equivalent of word search
puzzles. To make matters worse, he hires her sexy former
party boy ex, Axel Mackenzie, to shoot the photos. Axel
really wants the project to succeed. For one, the magazine
will double his fee if he convinces strong-willed Ellery to
write a story no woman can resist. Besides,getting
Ellery to fall for romance novels might be just the push she
needs to believe people can change . . . even him.
At his sister's advice, Axel gives Ellery a copy of
Kiltlander, a much-adored romance whose warrior hero
is utterly irresistible. To her dismay, Ellery finds herself
secretly falling in love with the story—and with Axel, who's
drawing his own lessons from the book's compelling hero.
With her carefully crafted image of herself crumbling and
her dream job on the line, will Ellery risk it all to make
the leap from tight-lipped literati to happily-ever-after
heroine?
