With book and movie deals galore, there isn’t much the “golden boy” of modern fiction hasn’t accomplished. He’s just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she’ll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he’s the one to finish her grandmother’s final novel…even if the publisher swears he’s the perfect fit.
