Do books have souls?
Anna Black has the perfect novel choice for her book club. She also has a sexy new neighbor who jumps at the opportunity to join fellow bookworms in discussing her pick for their summer read.
It’s lust at first sight and the marriage of two literary souls.
The charismatic owner of a new T-shirt store in Des Moines’s East Village, Eric Steinmann, has a confident air and an irresistible “mating dance.” He’s almost perfect … until he says the wrong word.
Will Anna and Eric write their own story? Or will their chemistry die when fiction turns into reality?
Originally written as a short story (The Last Person), now thoroughly revised with significant changes to the content and extended into a full-length novel, Jewel E. Ann’s August 2023 release is a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy, and we have the cover.
