From the acclaimed author of The Wedding Forecast, loved by Shameless Book Club, comes a slow-burn, forced-proximity romance about a PA falling for her boss's son.

Thirty-year-old Charlotte is working hard to reinvent herself since her career as a book editor went up in flames. She's moved to a coastal town and landed a new job as a personal assistant to well-known media personality Hillary Hobbs. Hillary is launching a writers festival, and Charlotte is determined to prove herself capable of every task.

When Hillary's son Xavier arrives in town, Charlotte has a new problem to solve. A one-time bestselling author, Xavier hasn't written a word for years and now he's broken up with his girlfriend and has nowhere to live.

Charlotte finds herself not only offering Xavier her spare room, but also promising Hillary she'll get his life back on track.

But as Charlotte and Xavier spend more time together, an undeniable attraction develops, complicating everything...
