A steamy, opposites-attract romance with undeniable chemistry between a grumpy retired footballer and his fabulous and very sunshine-y ghostwriter.
When grumpy ex-footballer Alfie Harding gets badgered into selling his memoirs, he knows he's never going to be able to write them. He hates revealing a single thing about himself, is allergic to most emotions, and can't imagine doing a good job of putting pen to paper.
And so in walks curvy, cheery, cute as heck ghostwriter Mabel Willicker, who knows just how to sunshine and sass her way into getting every little detail out of Alfie. They banter and bicker their way to writing his life story, both of them sure they'll never be anything other than at odds.
But after their business arrangement is mistaken for a budding romance, the pair have to pretend to be an item for a public who's ravenous for more of this Cinderella story. Or at least, it feels like it's pretend—until each slow burn step in their fake relationship sparks a heat neither can control. Now they just have to decide: is this sizzling chemistry just for show? Or something so real it might just give them their fairytale ending?

      Starred review from November 1, 2023

      Mabel Willicker is a ghostwriter, a good one. Her newest project is the memoir of ex-footballer Alfie Harding. She's the 17th writer they've tried--Alfie has rejected all of them so far. Then Mabel walks in and calls him on his behavior. Their chemistry and banter have Alfie opening up about things he never thought he'd reveal, but when a fan sees Mabel leaving Alfie's house--a house even his friends have never visited--everyone assumes she's his new girlfriend. To preserve the facade that Alfie is writing his own memoir, he and Mabel agree to a fake relationship until the book is released. Soon their friendship turns into something much steamier, and Mabel is no longer sure what's fake and what's real. This opposites-attract, fake-relationship romantic comedy features the ultimate cinnamon-roll hero. Alfie is short-tempered and belligerent with everyone except Mabel, who uncovers the lovable man underneath. With Mabel, he's different, but she's the only one who doesn't see it for what it is. VERDICT Upbeat, engaging, witty, and funny, this book from Stein (The Professor) will captivate readers. Highly recommended for all collections.--Heather Miller Cover
