They strike a deal: he'll use his cunning ways to help her win back her ex, she'll finish the novel, and, surely, he'll return to whatever world he rode in from. But as River Oakley proves to be so much more than just the bad guy, Gertie has to choose: the ending she thought she wanted...or the plot twist she never saw coming.
