Lily Greene dreams of becoming a children's books editor, but has been frustratingly stuck in the nonfiction division for years without a promotion in sight. She finds escapism in her correspondences with her favorite fantasy author, which soon turns into a tentative friendship and possibly something else--until he ghosts her without a word.

And the perfect person to help her is Nick Brown, her charming, attractive new neighbor, who she feels inexplicably drawn to. But little does she know, Nick is an author--her favorite fantasy author. Nick, who has his reasons for using a pen name, soon realizes that Lily is the same person he fell in love with over email months ago. Unwilling to complicate things even more between them, he agrees to set her up with someone else, though he can't get her off his mind...
