DESPERATELY SEEKING FICTIONAL HERO FOR HAPPILY EVER AFTERGracie Landing's life is a disaster, and for a romance novelist, that's saying something. Broke, blocked, and freshly single, she drunkenly emails her high school crush in a fit of despair...only to spark the best banter she's had in years.
As their flirty email friendship deepens, so does Gracie's inspiration, and soon, Colin Yarmouth--grown up, gorgeous, and carrying some scars of his own--is unknowingly helping her finish her next book. But when real feelings collide with fiction, Gracie must decide what she's willing to risk for the rewrite of her life.
A fast-paced romantic comedy filled with sharp humor, bookish charm, and a heroine you'll want to text after wine, this debut is for fans of messy leads, second chances, and laugh-out-loud love stories that write themselves.
Praise for The Book Proposal: "With witty banter and a clever, self-aware plot, this romantic gem marks Micciche as a writer to watch." --
