Write Beside Me

A gorgeously funny, bookish, enemies-to-lovers rom-com from BESTSELLER Camilla Isley

Every book in the Blue Crescent Harbor series can be read as a standalone

What if the man she’s falling for is secretly her greatest enemy?

Ten years ago, Rory Whitman published her debut romance novel. But after a critical takedown, the book flopped. Now, she runs a charming indie bookstore in Blue Crescent Harbor, happily matching book lovers with their perfect read, but no longer writing.

She can almost pretend that part of her life never existed, at least until handsome ghostwriter Martin Peterson joins her book club. The way their eyes meet as the discussion heats up over the spicy scenes could be the closest she’s ever come to a real-life meet-cute. In town to work on his first novel, Martin is struck with writer’s block and asks Rory to help him brainstorm. Their undeniable creative chemistry sparks a fiery collaboration, and soon, they are drafting a steamy romance manuscript together.

As midnight writing sessions blur the line between fiction and reality, Rory and Martin fall for each other. But both hide secrets about their former careers that threaten to resurface when they secure a dream book deal. Can their passionate new love story survive a past they both want to forget, or will one last plot twist ruin everything?
