Three stories, three couples, three intertwined tales:

Kate and Jim: A struggling romance novelist, Kate deals with an editor pushing her to write steamier books and a husband who decides to dabble in producing his own "art." But is he really creating something of value or just mocking Kate's own attempts at becoming a literary artist?

Jake and Belinda: The hero and heroine of Kate's latest romance novel, this duo faces danger as someone makes an attempt on Belinda's life while they try to figure out if lust can lead to true love...

Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald: While Kate pens her hot new novel, she discovers a cache of pages penned by a "Beatrice Rutherford," who appears to have been a typist for the great literary writer and who sheds new light on what really happened to the famous couple. 

The Last Romantics is a sweet love story, a hot romance, and an inside look at the publishing world, filled with delectable tidbits and juicy details professional writers will especially enjoy. 

"The author juggles three intertwined stories involving three different couples with ease, keeping readers engaged by allowing us to peek into the lives of the characters... An insider look at the publishing industry along with three relationships gives readers two reasons to indulge." The Book Life Prize report

"Like The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles, The Last Romantics by Elizabeth Malin is a layered story that sends you back to the golden age of American literature and forward to the world of contemporary popular literature with the editorial mantra of 'sex sells.' Malin deftly brings each of the three stories in The Last Romantics to a successful conclusion that should please all readers." - Joan Reeves, NY Times & USA Today bestselling authorAll Rights Reserved
