Rage Bait: A Celebrity Author Romance Novel
Opposites attract in this slow-burn, steamy romance, combining a small-town beach love story with an online scandal that takes TikTok made me buy it to a whole new level.
All Charlie Barrett wanted was a change of scenery to help her writer's block. She wasn't looking for a beach town romance of her own. And she certainly wasn't looking for an online scandal. But she ends up with both after renting a beach house in Troubadour's Landing, a small town full of writers and artists.
Because the house Charlie is renting belongs to none other than Noah Cross, Charlie's favorite mystery author. And as luck would have it, Noah's team has a strange offer for Charlie. In a scheme to revive Noah's book sales, they will pay her to plagiarize one of his old books. And all with Noah's approval.
Ordinarily, Charlie would say no. But thanks to her admiration for Noah (and maybe her thing for his tattoos), she says yes. After all, how could she pass up the opportunity to meet her favorite author?
The scheme works. Charlie's plagiarized novel becomes the only thing BookTok creators can talk about. Even better, as Charlie gets to know her tattooed protective hero, she gets swept up in a steamy romance that her own characters could only dream of. But this publishing industry romance turns sour, and even dangerous, as the backlash against Charlie grows.
Now, Charlie's not sure if her bookish beach love story can survive the online scandal.
