Harper Walsh is a three-Michelin-starred chef whose entire identity has been forged in the heat of her restaurant, Wild Poppies. But when the pressure finally breaks her, she's forced into a sabbatical that launches her into far too much unstructured time.
Enter Elliot Knox: her ridiculously attractive, happy-go-lucky best friend and bestselling romance author. When an awkward breakup leaves him without a place to land, Harper agrees to let him move in. The perfect distraction from her sad life.
Suddenly, they're sharing space, routines, and secrets. As Harper reads his books and begins to recognize herself on the page, curiosity turns into longing. Acting out his fictional scenes together is supposed to be safe. Controlled. Just research. But as fiction blurs into reality, Harper realizes Elliot hasn't just been writing about love, he's been writing about her.
