How to Write a Love Story by Catherine WalshOne writer, one editor, one hot summer. Will this be a romance for the books? Ciara Sheridan's father has left her with three things: a sprawling and distinctly ramshackle estate on the Irish coast, the outline for the finale to his bestselling epic fantasy series that he wanted her to finish, and writer's block. Enter Sam Avery, Frank Sheridan fanboy and hotshot editor, sent from the New York publishing house direct to Ciara's doorstep, red pen ready. At first, Ciara and Sam butt heads with crackling energy. But with the deadline looming, they have just a few weeks to stop bickering, write this novel, and secure Frank's legacy. As the summer heats up, so, too, does the tension between them. Will their own love story be the plot twist neither of them see coming?
