The bestselling author of Same Time Next Summer is back with the heartwarming and hilarious story of an executive who needs a killer song for her rom com script, and the pretentious, irresistible cinematographer who might just make sparks leap off the page.

A week in close quarters with Dan while facing down her past is Jane's idea of hell, but Dan just might surprise her. While covering up her lie, can they find something true?
