She's also a ghostwriter for Meredith Bradford, the bestselling romance novelist of all time. But then Tyler McNally walks back into Katie's life, and that bedazzled facade crumbles at her platform-sneakered feet. Katie and Tyler haven't seen or spoken to each other since the overdose death of Katie's older brother, a standout MLB pitching prospect. Tyler was her brother's best friend, and Katie--naturally--was the girl next door. But now, Tyler is a sleeve-tattooed, Ivy League-educated aspiring literary fiction novelist, nine years sober . . . and Katie's writing partner for the summer. As genre conventions require, Katie and Tyler soon find themselves removed from Manhattan and instead writing their love story in "forced proximity" at Meredith's isolated Southampton home.

Call it destiny, fate, or magic itself: It's clear their love story is unfinished. This time, though, they'll fight for their happy ending.
