Do The Write Thing

Bree James is an up-and-comer in the book world. She doesn’t care about writing anything serious. She just wants to have fun. Her books are full of spicy vampires and witches, and she’s just excited to be invited to the literary party. Brody Bates has only ever wanted one thing, to stand on his own two feet. His father wanted him to follow in his footsteps, but Brody was determined to do his own thing. Now he’s one of the top high-fantasy authors in the game, and he takes himself very, very seriously. An unfortunate run-in—literally—at an author conference makes them enemies.

Belladonna “Bella” Oakley had big dreams when she was younger, but little by little, they were eroded by a boyfriend who didn’t have her best interests at heart. Her breaking point came when she found him in bed with another woman. Then, all she wanted was to get away. Two years later, she finds herself with a publishing contract and a new city to love. What she didn’t expect was the return of her ex-boyfriend Preston Martin Charlies III, who has somehow inserted himself into an official author event … which is supposed to stretch the entire summer.

It was the slap heard round the world. In one corner, renowned author Eleanor Ambrose came out blazing to knock down her writing partner and best friend, Agnes Quincy, in front of a packed crowd in Austin, Texas. The oohs were off the chart. The aahs were chilling. The partnership was kaput, although nobody ever knew why. Fifteen years later, their children Huxley Ambrose and Wylie Dixon have made names for themselves in the same literary world. They haven’t crossed paths since their mothers pulled each other’s hair on national television.
