Beach Read

Augustus Everett writes literary fiction, where tragedy reigns. January Andrews is a bestselling romance author, crafting happily-ever-afters. They couldn’t be more different—except for the fact that they’re both broke, battling writer’s block, and stuck in neighboring beach houses for the summer.

One hazy night, they make a deal: Augustus will try his hand at a feel-good love story, while January attempts the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on rom-com-worthy adventures; he’ll introduce her to the dark world of true crime research. The goal? Finish their books. Absolutely not fall in love. No way.
