书籍简介

这部浪漫喜剧由《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜#1、里斯读书俱乐部推介《十二月的一天》的作者创作，讲述了一位明星经纪人聘请一位女演员扮演“小说家”的故事，为这位不愿抛头露面的客户进行巡回售书活动。

她扮演的是一位言情小说作家，但她是否找到了属于自己的爱情故事呢？

明星经纪人查理·弗朗西斯科 (Charlie Francisco) 面临三个问题：一场离婚结束了他的编剧生涯，一桩他从未计划继承的生意，以及一本令人叹为观止的浪漫小说，而作者却不想出版该小说。这本书一定会大卖，只要他的公司能找到一位在夏季巡回售书活动中“扮演”作者的人就行了。

凯特·埃利奥特，一位前肥皂剧女演员，在她人生似乎一团糟的时刻，奇迹般地成为了这个角色的合适人选。凯特仍在从离婚的阴影中恢复，查理的工作机会对她来说就像是救命稻草。她同意假装接受所有围绕小说出版的采访、签售和露面活动。但她无法得知究竟是谁创作了这个非凡的故事——一个如此美丽的故事，让她再次相信爱情。

凯特和查理相遇时，他们之间既有摩擦，也有火花——但他们仅有的共同点是，他们都决心扮演好各自的角色。但随着夏日的炎热和谎言的不断扩大，他们能否坚持自己的立场……还是会偏离剧本？

A talent agent hires an actress to play the part of "novelist" on a book tour for his agency's publicity-shy client in this delightful rom-com from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Reese's Book Club Pick One Day in December

She's playing the part of romance author, but has she found her own real life love story?

Talent agent Charlie Francisco has three problems: a divorce that ended his screenwriting career, a business he never planned to inherit, and a take-your-breath-away romance novel whose author wants nothing to do with its publication. The book is a surefire hit, if only his agency can find someone to "play" author on its summer book tour.

Enter Kate Elliott, a former soap actress who's miraculously right for the part at the very moment her life seems to be going all wrong. Kate is still recovering from her own divorce and Charlie's job offer is a lifeline. She agrees to the pretense for all interviews, signings, and appearances surrounding the novel's publication. But she can't know who really wrote the remarkable story--the one so beautiful it's made her believe in love again.

When Kate and Charlie meet they're all friction and sparks--the one thing they have in common is they're determined to play their respective parts. But as the summer heat ups and the lies get bigger and bigger, can they stick to their lines . . . or will they go off-script?
