One Week Later

They had one perfect week. Then they vanished from each other's lives--until his book inadvertently made her the villain.

Two years ago, romance novelist Melody Adams and aspiring author Beckett Nash met on a sun-soaked vacation in Aruba. Seven days of stolen moments, midnight swims, and intimate conversations left them both certain they'd found the real thing. Then a tangle of missed flights, mixed signals, and bad timing tore them apart before they could say goodbye. Neither could reach the other--so both assumed they'd been dumped.

And both did what writers do: they turned heartbreak into a novel.

Now Beckett's debut has made him a literary sensation. Melody's book? Critics call it a shameless rip-off. The only way to salvage her career--and her sanity--is to reconnect with Beckett and set the record straight. There's just one problem: Beckett is engaged to someone else. And seeing each other again reminds them of exactly what they lost...and how much they both still want.
