How to Write a Love Story

the HOTTEST opposites-attract, forced-proximity rom com of the summer – set in the world of books!

By: Catherine Walsh

One writer, one editor, one hot summer... A romance for the books?

Ciara Sheridan's father has left her with three things: a sprawling and distinctly ramshackle estate on the Irish coast, the outline for the finale to his bestselling epic fantasy series that he wanted her to finish - and writer's block.

Enter Sam Avery: Frank-Sheridan-fanboy and hotshot editor, sent from the New York publishing house direct to her doorstep - against Ciara's wishes and red pen at the ready.

With the deadline looming, Ciara and Sam have just a few weeks to stop bickering, write this novel and secure Frank's legacy.

But as the summer heats up, so too does the tension between them. Will their own love story be the plot twist neither of them see coming?

Book Lovers meets Leap Year in this dual-POV, forced-proximity, bookish romantic comedy with a VERY HOT twist - the brand-new book from bestselling Kindle chart sensation and Irish author, Catherine Walsh.
