A second chance, small town, hate to lovers romance with a splash of reality TV.
by Layla Pine
Be professional, get through three months, go our separate ways...
Georgina Menzies might be having a quarter-life crisis …
She just quit her eight-year career to work in television production. And when her boyfriend of two years calls to break up, all she feels is relief.
But that relief flies out the window when she discovers that her first job as showrunner is a documentary about a sexy Sydney vet—a man who, as an eighteen-year-old, broke her heart …
She’s determined to keep things professional … with maybe a couple of little tweaks, to punish him just a teeny bit …
... When Xander Fox discovers that the woman producing his new documentary series is his high school sweetheart, and the girl who ghosted him after one stupid teenage mistake, twelve years of anger and bitterness resurface.
He’s determined to get through filming with the minimum of fuss … but how will that be possible when Georgie seems hell-bent on driving him insane?
Stuck together in a small town, all their old resentments, old hurts, and old chemistry re-ignite … and their frustration feels a hell of a lot like foreplay …
Author of steamy / spicy contemporary and paranormal romances
Layla has been writing stories ever since she could pick up a pencil and shape words. The most memorable works of her tween and teen years included a rap version of 'Little Red Riding Hood' and an embarrassingly pornographic high school camp/murder mystery (which was possibly a sign of things to come). Layla studied Communications at Newcastle University in NSW, Australia, and worked as a buyer and marketing coordinator in the education sector, before joining her husband in the family retail business. That's still her day job (she's very lucky her boss is pretty lenient, or she'd never get any writing done). Layla lives on an acreage in regional NSW with her husband, two rambunctious children, three mostly feral cats, and two wilful Corgis called Kingston and Empress (you can read about them in Hating Dr Fox). When she's not writing, or reading, she's bellowing Taylor Swift at the top of her lungs.
