She was once the publishing world’s literary darling. Gossip rags call him a literary Lothario.She won’t write. He can’t.These are the least of their problems.A catastrophe forces Jocelyn Durand, the author of a decades-old and accidental publishing one-hit-wonder, to meet her idol, the best-selling suspense writer Asher Cray. Each harbors a literary crush on the other, but if social media is to be believed, Asher is a philandering charmer and more than the late-bloomer Jocelyn could ever hope to handle. Still, while gossip and innuendo have branded him a notorious Lothario, they might have the story all wrong. Regardless, those rumors are the least of Asher’s worries compared to the horrific case of writer’s block hounding him.Sparks fly between the two would-be wordsmiths, but uprooted nightmarish memories and a revolving door of uninvited visitors create plot twists no one sees coming, threatening the pairs’ less-than-storybook romance and upending the devoted Durand siblings’ long-held beliefs. Happily-ever-after means the insulated Jocelyn and her stalwart sister must confront a wiped-away past, recognizing monsters come in unexpected forms, and maybe they aren’t all bad—a daunting task one wickedly hot Hamptons summer in a very crowded house when everyone’s personal histories blur the lines between fact and fiction.Book #2 in the Found Families series reads as a standalone romantic domestic suspense set in the same universe as the other books in the Found Families series. Reading them in order isn’t necessary but might be more fun for those who enjoy Easter eggs, character callbacks, and occasionally revisiting scene settings.
