The road to love is bumpy in Charlotte Stein's WHILE YOU WERE SEETHING—a sexy and heartwarming contemporary romance filled with fake dating hijinks, delicious forced proximity, and top tier banter.
Daisy Emmett has been enemies with famous romance author Caleb Miller since they were in college together, and time hasn't lessened their mutual loathing. So when she agrees to manoeuvre him through a PR disaster of his own making, she knows it's not going to be easy. She just doesn't realise how not easy until they somehow end up trapped in the same truck, on an endless road trip from one book tour stop to another, bantering and butting heads along the way.
Then, even more horrifying: people appear to be mistaking her for the woman he dedicates all his books to. The love of his life, his adored beloved—the one who doesn't actually exist. Now they're trapped into pretending she does and that Daisy is her, each fake kiss and phoney embrace ratcheting up the tension to the point where enemies suddenly seems a lot closer to lovers than either of them would like.
Or so they're telling themselves.
But sometimes it's hard to be sure, when seething turns into something so much more... CHARLOTTE STEIN is the RT nominated author of over fifty short stories, novellas and novels, including When Grumpy Met Sunshine, a book The New York Times called “a triumph”. When not writing deeply emotional and intensely sexy books, she can be found eating jelly turtles, getting way too excited over a million movies and TV shows, and occasionally lusting after moustaches. She lives in Leeds with her family.
"This extra-steamy romance fully delivers on the enemies-to-lovers trope. Stein achieves the rare feat of penning an enemies-to-lovers novel where the leads believably hate each other. Good for libraries with robust romance collections."
Library Journal
"Stein drives her smart, determined, vulnerable, and well-meaning but misunderstood characters into a very sexy enemies-to-lovers road trip."
