From the author of You Bet Your Heart comes a heartfelt romance about two aspiring teen novelists finding love, good food, and a little bit of mystery at an exclusive writers’ retreat. Perfect for fans of K.L. Walther!

The daughter of two prestigious writers, Macy Descanso has decided to take her own writing seriously. So what if her mother pulled some strings to get Macy into a prestigious writing retreat? Macy belongs here. But when she arrives, she learns that the theme has been changed to romance, per the bequest of the late, prolific romance author Betty Quinn. Though a cynic, Macy lives for a challenge.

What she’s not prepared for is to be partnered with Caleb Bernard, also the child of two prestigious writers. The Descansos and Bernards notably have beef—a rivalry that has lasted generations. With something to prove, Macy and Caleb decide to put their family squabbles aside to work together as critique partners.

But this retreat is anything but ordinary. According to lore, every year, authors leave easter eggs behind for new students to find. Macy and Caleb are eager to solve Betty Quinn’s mystery. And in the process, Macy and Caleb find that they have a lot in common. Still, will their connection be enough to surpass their families’ feud? Can the relationship they’ve built continue after the retreat?

Love on Paper Review

What happens when your parents are rivals and you’re linked to their son? The rivals are authors while their children are at a writing retreat and paired as partners. Enemy to lover fans unite! 

Macy is secure in her writing, just not the romance topic – since she’s cynical. Then she finds out her critique partner is Caleb, the rival’s son, who is sensible and endearing. There is plenty of tension – until there’s not. The switch from enemies to lovers is wonderful. The dialogue snaps, the pull is strong, the future is bright, and the story is believable. The retreat honors romance author, Betty Quinn. The lucky person to solve her mini mystery will face a life altering consequence. Think plot twist. Overall, a good storyline makes this an enjoyable read.
