A literary writer trapped in a rut and a romance writer who has lost faith in love embark on a summer challenge that could completely change their perceptions of happily ever afters.

The New York Times Book Review, Entertainment Weekly, Oprah Magazine, Betches, Shondaland, Good Morning America, The New York Post, Good Housekeeping, CNN, and more have all highlighted it!

One well-known author of literary fiction is Augustus Everett. Bestselling romances are written by January Andrews. He murders off his entire cast when she writes a happily ever after.

They’re polar opposites.

Actually, the only thing they have in common is that they will be broke, suffering from writer’s block, and living in nearby beach cottages for the next three months.

Until one foggy evening, one thing leads to another, and they come to an agreement that will push them out of their creative ruts: January will write the next Great American Novel, and Augustus will spend the summer creating something cheerful. Naturally, he will take her to interview surviving members of a rural death cult, and she will take him on field trips fit for any romantic comedy montage. No one will fall in love, but everyone will finish a book. Actually.
