'Thank you, Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, for this glorious love letter to readers of romantasy' - Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of Wish You Were Here
Is enemies-to-lovers romance only for books, or can Jennifer and Scott bring that fantasy to life?
Jennifer Worth works in Publishing, but lives to escape into the world of her favourite romantasy series, Elytheum Courts, where the romance is swoony and the men are brave, chivalrous . . . and winged. Newly single and craving connection, she travels to an immersive fan experience, only to see the last face she expected: Scott Daniels, her work nemesis.
Except the Scott she encounters there, in his second hand cosplay outfit, is . . . different. Swaggering, flirtatious, confident. Unlucky in romance himself, Scott is determined to remake himself into the perfect book boyfriend.
Jennifer has no interest in helping the man who vexes her every workday and dismisses her fictional fantasies, but as the convention activities force the unlikely pair together, they’re surprised to discover magic like none Jennifer has ever read about.
Devoted fangirl meets hesitant fanboy in this swoony contemporary love letter to readers who love fantasy worlds. From Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegmund-Broka, the authors of Do I Know You? and The Breakup Tour.
