A new utterly delightful and sexy second-chance romance from the author of the TikTok-hit A Brush with Love and Late Bloomer!

Eva Kitt dreamed of pursuing a journalism career all her life. Instead, she's the host of Sausage Talk, interviewing B-list celebrities over lukewarm hotdogs. When Eva's impromptu public call out of her college ex goes viral, she's thrust into the spotlight. It doesn't help that said ex is Rylie Cooper, a beloved social media personality, who built a platform on deconstructing toxic masculinity and teaching men how to be good partners.

Forced to confront Rylie on a live episode of Sausage Talk, he offers Eva a deal: allow him to take her on a series of dates to make up for his toxic behaviour, then debrief them on his channel to show he's changed. Eva refuses to play nice, but this could advance her own career... and she wouldn't mind defaming Rylie's good name in the process. When their manufactured dates start to feel real, Eva has to wonder if the boy that broke her heart has become the man that might heal it.
