Rule one of writing romance: Don't fall for your own characters. Oops.Charlotte Branson is a romance novelist with a problem. Her manuscript is a mess, her deadline is looming, and her female lead is, frankly, insufferable. The solution? Rewrite everything from scratch. The complication? She falls asleep at her laptop and wakes up inside her own novel—as a minor character, in a fictional Colorado town she built from the ground up, surrounded by people who think they're completely real.She knows this world. She knows the Sterling brothers, the private equity empire they built together, and exactly how every scene is supposed to play out. What she didn't account for is Nick Sterling—unscripted, incredibly sexy, and nothing like she imagined when she put him on the page. He's not supposed to be the main love interest. She didn't write it that way.She knows how rom-coms work. She knows every beat, every complication, every reason this is a terrible idea. She also knows she's been writing about love her whole life to avoid having to feel it. Nick Sterling is making that very difficult.Falling into Fiction is the first book in The Fictional Hearts Series—a wickedly fun, clean romantic comedy for anyone who's ever lost themselves in a love story and quietly wished they could live there.
