The Romance Plan

A newly hired book editor has just landed her dream job when the company's new boss announces that the business is about to go bust. The only way to save it is to get a famously eccentric romance author to hand in a novel that is eight years overdue.

The complication is personal. The new CEO, Liam, is the man who kissed her in the street the night before, and she is not sure whether she wants to slap him or kiss him again. He is also arrogant and infuriating, at least at first.

The two have to work side by side to coax a bestseller out of an author who has produced nothing for years. Late nights and steamy manuscript pages wear down her first impression, and Liam turns out to be less of a snob than she assumed. Their chemistry gets harder to contain.

This is a romantic comedy with a humorous, flirty tone and a steamy streak, told in the first person by the editor. It is a standalone story and the fifth book in the Cupids series. The question that drives it is whether they can build a happy ending or burn out before the final chapter.
