From award-winning author Penelope Janu comes an utterly charming and delightfully funny love story where opposites attract – or do they?

By day Miles Franklin, named after the famous author, is a successful lawyer. By night, in secret, she writes historical romance novels under the pen-name Emma Browning. When her novel wins one of Australia's biggest literary awards, Miles's perfectly ordered life begins to unthread – especially when Lars Kristensen, CEO of the publishing company, insists on meeting the author.

Socially anxious Miles and supremely confident Lars have nothing in common. But the more time they spend together, the more blurred the lines between fact and fiction and love and hate become.

Miles is determined to both protect her privacy and to keep writing – even if it means mastering pole dancing and confronting the prejudices of her parents and publishers. Like the heroines in her books, she has the grit to stand her ground. But Lars has the smouldering looks, arrogance and pride of all her romantic heroes rolled into one.

Who is going win this battle of wills? Can Miles and Lars ever be on the same page?

A contemporary romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Beth O'Leary and Abi Jimenez
