When book editor, Lizzie Thornton, is given the opportunity to work with her all-time favorite romance author, the famous yet mysterious M.A Hertford, it's a dream come true.

Until she learns that M.A Hertford is not the kindly middle-aged woman she always imagined them to be but instead is William Lambert, a young man who is the rudest, most egotistical, and challenging author she's ever worked with.

As they work (and bicker) towards his latest book's deadline, Lizzie begins to question why exactly William chose to hide behind his famous penname. And after a stranger starts targeting Lizzie, she cannot help but wonder if it's someone from her past or William's.
