📖 Readers Who’ll Love This
Readers who love rom-coms with a thriller twist, meta storytelling and banter-filled chemistry
Kate Eberle’s debut holds all the talkability of THE FLAT SHARE, the high concept twist of IN FIVE YEARS, the romance of Emily Henry and the cinematic gravitas of THE LOST CITY and HIT MAN!

She thought she was in a romance. Fate threw her into a thriller. Will happily-ever-after still be on the cards when fiction and reality blur for Roxie?

When Roxie makes a tongue-in-cheek wish to live out the plot of her favourite author’s next novel, she has romance in mind - namely, the sweet, safe, swoon-worthy storylines Anna Matthews is known for. It should be a dream come true when her wish is granted by a mysterious busker.

Except for one little hiccup - that dashing stranger tries to take her breath away. Literally. With a knife. The thing is, Roxie may be the new Anna Matthews protagonist - but this time, Anna is writing a crime thriller.

Thrown into a perilous genre she’s never read, Roxie is desperate for help. So, when her escape from a potential murderer takes her straight into the path of Grant Hoffman - an anxious English professor with a convenient love of crime novels - she decides a little light kidnapping is a small price to pay for survival.

Together, Roxie and Grant team up to navigate a madcap story where the lines between fiction and reality blur and find out if they have what it takes to make it to The End - or maybe even Happily Ever After.
