A Perfect Man

Until he overcomes his past, he can't be anyone's hero. Not even hers.

After leaving her abusive relationship, Karen Hardeman stifled her self-doubt and enrolled in Foothills University's MFA program. Her first course—Intro to Romance—is ironic. Goodness knows she needs help in that area.

The professor is offering a prize for writing the best novella: dinner with her favorite author. It's as good as hers, if she can just find the right model for her hero. One thing is sure—it's not her irritating classmate, Seth Sayers.

Seth left his soul-sucking software career to seek a new direction—and to escape family drama. After a disastrous encounter with a jagged piece of wine bottle lands him in the ER, a painkiller-induced dream casts him as the male lead in Karen's project. The pills also dull his better judgement, and he re-writes her story from the male point of view.

When their professor forces them to collaborate on the manuscript, it's hardly a match made in writing heaven. Trust is in short supply. But when Karen runs afoul of a villainous megachurch preacher, she instinctively reaches for the one man who already has a piece of her heart – Seth. But can he can overcome his doubts and be the hero of her dreams?
