Nina Morrone has always dreamed of becoming an author of romantic comedies. After yet another query rejection hits her inbox, she finds herself wandering the aisles of a local bookstore, all but giving up on her childhood dream.

To rectify this shortcoming, Nina engages in a series of lighthearted adventures with Bennett over the course of a month - not expecting to live out her own happily ever after in the end.
