"As a successful book publicist, Imani Lewis prides herself on being prepared. But nothing can prepare her for seeing Zander Matthews again after she ghosted him a year ago. Their chemistry was so hot that that her only option of not getting involved is to avoid Zander at all costs. But in a town with only four stoplights, avoidance isn't an option. As manager and artist-in-residence of a ceramic's studio, Zander Matthews seemingly has it all: he creates all day and throws clay with strangers at night. But his carefree lifestyle hides a serious side. After his tour as a Marine, his life goal is simple: enjoy the present, as tomorrow is not promised. But lately he's thinking a future with Imani might be exactly what he's been missing. His proposal: spend time together just as friends. After all, she needs his help anyway in fixing up her grandmother's house. After weeks of totally platonic fun together, she finally caves to his request for a first date in a hot air balloon. But since her small-town stay is temporary and Zander can't be tied to anything beyond the most tenuous plans, will she be able to handle it when things get all fired up?"--Provided by publisher.

"Isabelle is completely lost. When she first began her career in publishing right out of college, she did not expect to be twenty-five, living at home, still an editorial assistant, and the only Black employee at her publishing house. Overworked and underpaid, constantly torn between speaking up or stifling herself, Izzy thinks there must be more to this publishing life. So when she overhears her boss complaining about a beastly high-profile author who has failed to deliver his long-awaited manuscript, Isabelle sees an opportunity to finally get the promotion she deserves. All she has to do is go to the author's Santa Barbara mansion and give him a quick pep talk or three. How hard could it be? But Izzy quickly finds out she is in over her head. Beau Towers is not some celebrity lightweight writing a tell-all memoir. He is jaded and withdrawn and--it turns out--just as lost as Izzy. But despite his standoffishness, Izzy needs Beau to deliver, and with her encouragement, his story begins to spill onto the page. They soon discover they have more in common than either of them expected, and as their deadline nears, Izzy and Beau begin to realize there may be something there that wasn't there before"--Provided by publisher.
