Women's Fiction | Contemporary
PhD candidate Mitch Samuel's life isn't going exactly
according to plan: his girlfriend just dumped him (to be
fair, he did forget to pick her up at the airport),
his estranged father has landed in the hospital, and his
literary masterpiece-one part Shakespeare, one part
Steinbeck, and all parts lyrical epic-has been rejected for
the umpteenth time.
However, after a chance
encounter at Starbucks with the queen of women's fiction-
Katharine Longwell-who seems to take a liking to him, he
senses an opportunity for literary riches, if not
reputation. After telling her that his (imaginary) female
cousin is an aspiring chick-lit author, he secures a promise
from her that she'll help his "cousin" get published. The
only problem is, Mitch needs a manuscript, and
fast.
Unfortunately, try as he might to get
inside a woman's head by reading Vogue and
Cosmo, watching Oxygen and Oprah, nothing seems to
work. That's when his roommate Bradley suggests that he try
a dance class at the studio where Bradley's sister Marie
takes lessons. Self-conscious about his own skills, and
unwilling to reveal his true intentions, Mitch attends the
first class under an alias: Jason Gallagher, pharmaceutical
rep. What could go wrong?
Nothing, except that
Mitch/Jason quickly finds himself hooked on dancing, and on
the charming Marie. Who has no idea who he really is. Or
that he knows her brother. Or why he's there. Suddenly, his
novel-writing project is becoming a lot more than he
bargained for...
