Synopsis
Aspiring author Bryony Page attends her first writers conference bursting with optimism and ready to sell her manuscript with long-shot dreams of raising awareness for The Bridge, her grandmother’s financially-struggling organization where she teaches ESL full-time. But after a disastrous pitching session, she stumbles into correcting another author’s work in a last-ditch attempt to make a good impression with the agent. And she, as it turns out, is spot on.
No one is more surprised than Bryony when the agent offers her the opportunity to be a ghostwriter for Amelia Benedict, popular rom-com novelist. Bryony agrees on one she’ll write books for this vain, demanding woman just as long as Jack Sterling, literary agent of the legendary Foundry Literary Agency, works to sell her own book too.
What nobody predicted, however, was that Bryony’s books would turn Amelia Benedict into the Amelia Benedict, household name and bestselling author with millions of copies sold around the world.
And just like that, the Foundry Agency can’t let her go.
But on a personal note, Jack is realizing he can’t either.
Thoughts
I loved this story! I have now read a couple Melissa Ferguson love stories, and I have a couple more in my TBR. She writes sweet romances that are a breath of fresh air. I absolutely adored Bryony and Jack’s love story. The publishing and teaching facets added a lot of sweetness, drama, and depth to the novel. Pick this up if you enjoy slow burn, clean romance, grumpy x sunshine, rivals to lovers, and workplace romance.
