Will it be l'amour the merrier or too haute to handle when rival reporters with a tangled history compete to tell the story of the year at a ritzy destination wedding?
Once upon a time, Walter was Hildy's favorite person-until he crushed her teenage dreams. A decade later, she has a new beloved: the magazine she built from the ground up. Unfortunately, getting rid of Walter isn't as easy as shedding her romantic illusions. He's always around, vying for the juiciest scoops on the elite wedding circuit and provoking her into public displays that don't scream "mature and sophisticated media maven."
When Hildy scores exclusive access to the wedding of the season-a week-long parade of luxury in southern France-it's a chance for her magazine to finally make its mark. Except Walter isn't sitting at home crying; he's right there in France, trying to steal Hildy's story. Again.
Now it's a head-to-head battle to see whose coverage will make it to print. The problem? Between the champagne and the chateaux, it's easy to lose sight of the prize. Hildy knows better than to believe in fairy tales, but Walter is doing his best to convince her they could have a part deux.
In this gender-flipped twist on His Girl Friday, Hildy has seven days to prove she is totally over it, living her best life, and definitely not hung up on the past . . . or Walter. AMANDA SELLET is a former journalist and the author of romcoms for teens and adults, including By the Book, which Booklist described in a starred review as, "impossible to read without laughing out loud." She loves old movies, baked goods, and embarrassing her teen daughter.
"Sellet creates a unique romance that harkens back to both golden age films and 1990s rom-coms. Hildy and Walter's jibes are delightfully witty and belie a sizzling tension that propels the tale. A romance that stands out by paying homage to the snappy banter of classic screwball comedies."
