One writer, one editor, one hot summer... A romance for the books?

Ciara Sheridan's father has left her with three things: a sprawling and distinctly ramshackle estate on the Irish coast, the outline for the finale to his bestselling epic fantasy series that he wanted her to finish - and writer's block.

Enter Sam Avery: Frank-Sheridan-fanboy and hotshot editor, sent from the New York publishing house direct to her doorstep - against Ciara's wishes and red pen at the ready.

With the deadline looming, Ciara and Sam have just a few weeks to stop bickering, write this novel and secure Frank's legacy.

But as the summer heats up, so too does the tension between them. Will their own love story be the plot twist neither of them sees coming?

Book Lovers meets Leap Year in this dual-POV, forced-proximity, bookish romantic comedy with a VERY HOT twist - the brand-new book from bestselling Kindle chart sensation and Irish author, Catherine Walsh.

My new favorite book by one of my absolute favorite authors, and one I'll be returning to as often as possible * Sarah Adler, author of FINDERS KEEPERS * What a fun read! This book brims with charm and romance, but it is the characters and nuanced conversation about grief, identity, and the cost of pursuing one's dreams that had me leaning in. I inhaled it, and you will too! * Uzma Jalaluddin, author of THREE HOLIDAYS AND A WEDDING * How to Write a Love Story is the love letter to the bookish community I wish I could have written myself! Catherine Walsh explores grief, vulnerability, and what it means to leave a legacy, all with the perfect balance of humor and heart. This is a must read for any fellow book lovers! * Falon Ballard, author of CHANGE OF HEART * Heartwarming, atmospheric, and full of swoon and wit, How to Write a Love Story swept me away to the Irish coast, and I never want to leave! The forced-proximity tension between Sam and Ciara had me giggling like a fool well into the night. This is cozy romcom perfection and another winner from Catherine Walsh. * Katie Naymon, author of YOU BETWEEN THE LINES *
