朱莉安娜·瑞恩的丈夫意外去世，留下她和两个悲伤的孩子，以及多年全职妈妈的停滞不前的职业生涯，她别无选择，只能靠自己努力工作。但当她无意中听到她那傲慢但极具魅力的新同事本·托马斯谈论她的孩子和缺乏经验是公司无法承受的负担时，她的信心崩溃了。这引发了两人之间的争执，朱莉安娜发誓要证明他错了。

两年后，他们的争执仍在继续，但这可能是因为他们不愿承认的事情。当他们被迫一起从事一个职业项目时，朱莉安娜别无选择，只能休战。随着他们的生活越来越紧密地交织在一起，朱莉安娜发现很难忽视本永恒的微笑和迷人的决心。一开始的休战逐渐发展成更深层次的关系，因为董事会会议中的争吵变成了办公桌前的亲吻。这个她视为宿敌的男人能比任何人都更了解她的生活——她的压力和责任吗？

但就在朱莉安娜决定再次敞开心扉时，本的过去威胁到了他们新发现的幸福，她必须弄清楚这第二次爱情机会是否值得。

LET’S CALL A TRUCE is a sexy contemporary romance about second chances at life and love, bursting with humor and a touch of angst from debut author, Amy Buchanan.

After Juliana Ryan's husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her with two grieving kids and a stunted career from years as a stay-at-home mom, she has no choice but to make it work all on her own. But her confidence crashes around her when she overhears her condescending but infuriatingly attractive new colleague, Ben Thomas, talking about how her kids and inexperience are a liability the company can’t afford. This sets off a feud between the two, as Juliana vows to prove him wrong.

Two years later, their feud rages on, but it may be charged with something they aren't willing to admit. When they are forced onto a career-making project together, Juliana has no choice but to call a truce. As their lives become more intertwined in and out of the office, Juliana finds it hard to ignore Ben’s perpetual smile and charming determination. What started as a truce grows into more, as boardroom-clearing arguments turn to desk-clearing kisses. Could the man she deemed her nemesis understand her life–her stress and responsibilities–better than anyone?

But just when Juliana decides to open her heart again, Ben’s past threatens their newfound bliss, and she has to figure out whether this second chance at love is worth it after all.

作者简介

艾米·布坎南 (Amy Buchanan) 对爱情和书籍的痴迷始于三岁，当时她看了《美女与野兽》，不知道自己更迷恋王子还是图书馆。几十年来，她一直在阅读别人写的爱情故事，现在她决定分享那些萦绕在脑海中的故事。她写的当代爱情故事充满乐趣和激情，有亲切的女主角、令人心醉的男主角和充满爱的家庭。

她和三个孩子、两只小狗和一个丈夫住在佛罗里达州中部。除了写作，她还利用高等教育管理硕士学位为初代大学生开办奖学金基金会。不工作的时候，她会在旅游网站上搜索超出旅行预算的豪华出租房，并进行半程马拉松训练（虽然训练很差）。

Amy Buchanan’s affair with romance and books started at three, when she watched Beauty and the Beast and couldn’t decide if she was more obsessed with the prince or the library (The library. Definitely the library). After decades of devouring love stories written by others, she decided to share the ones pinging around in her brain. She writes fun and spicy contemporary romances with relatable hero, swoonworthy heroes, and loving found families.

She lives in Central Florida with her three littles, two pups, and one husband. On top of writing, she uses her Masters in Higher Education Administration to run a scholarship foundation for first-generation college students. When not working, she trolls travel sites for luxury rentals outside of her travel budget and–poorly–trains for half-marathons.
