Five-time New York Times #1 bestseller, Adelaide Maddox, is not like normal 21 year-olds for many reasons. Not only is she one of the most popular romance novelists, she's hiding something from her readers. She's never been in love, never even been kissed. And when Addy's faithful editor retires and a newer, hotter replacement comes in, how far will she go to make Mr. Elliot Hayes hers? It's battle royale at the office, and maybe with the help of her best friend Bria, Addy can be victorious. And through all of this, can Addy escape her writer's block and finish her sixth novel? Read as Addy acquires her battle scars, goes through lessons in flirting, and struggles to live out her own romance, in I Write Romances, Not Live Them.

This is not a typical undercover story. This is not the story of a person who is secretly a genius or a criminal or a writer. This woman is not an undercover hero. She is the bad kind of undercover, the secretly lazy, secretly unethical kind. Because as much as we can romanticize the idea of a beautiful secret, not all secrets are so beautiful. THIS STORY IS UNFINISHED (but I'll be updating it regularly) ....or not regularly.... oops. **note: Akila's PDD is a made-up disorder called Personality Deficit Disorder. It is NOT Pervasive Developmental Disorder. Sorry for any confusion.
