The Perfect Rom-Com cover

"Another sparkling, laugh-out-loud romance!" --RaeAnne Thayne, New York Times bestselling author

She's written dozens of smash hit romance novels. Too bad no one knows it.

Aspiring author Bryony Page attends her first writers conference bursting with optimism and ready to sell her manuscript with long-shot dreams of raising awareness for her grandmother's financially struggling organization where she teaches ESL full-time. What she doesn't expect is to get tangled up with Jack Sterling, a jaded literary agent who will change everything. Their partnership begins with a devil's bargain: Bryony will ghostwrite for his talentless bestselling client if Jack will represent her real novel. But as deadlines loom and sparks fly during a traveling book tour that's always one breath away from disaster, Bryony realizes she's not just rewriting romance novels--she's living one.

Don't miss the latest delightful laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from bestselling author Melissa Ferguson, a story of two seemingly mismatched hearts brought together by fate, proving that sometimes, the perfect love story is hidden in the pages of a well-loved book.
