She thought she knew everything about romance. She was wrong.
After losing out on a plum assignment, a romance book conference is the last place journalist Sheridan Farlow wants to be.

She'll write an entire expose . . . only it doesn't go quite according plan.

Their attraction is explosive; even as Sheridan's cynical side battles her growing feelings for Mac. But can she handle writing a biting expose with an exposed heart on the line?
