Hollywood (Lee)

She's written off more than she can chew... Romance author Sophie Lyon's ironic secret just went viral: she's never been in love. Though her debut novel made readers swoon, Sophie's having trouble getting her new characters to happily-ever-after, and she blames it on her own uninspired love life. With a manuscript deadline looming, Sophie makes an ambitious plan to overcome her writer's block: reunite with her exes to learn why she's never fallen in love-and document it all for her millions of new online followers. Which also means facing her ex-girlfriend Carla, the one person Sophie could have loved. Luckily, Sophie's reclusive landlord, Dash Montrose-a former teen heartthrob-has social media all figured out and offers to help. But he doesn't mention that he's an anonymous online crafter, a hobby that helps him maintain his sobriety. No one knows about his complicated relationship with alcohol and he intends to keep it that way. His family is Hollywood royalty, so Dash has to steer clear of scandal. As Sophie and Dash grow closer, they discover a heat between them that rivals Dash's pottery kiln. But Sophie needs to figure out who she is outside her relationships, and Dash isn't sure he's stable enough for the commitment she deserves. So, Sophie suggests what any good romance author would: a friends-with-benefits arrangement. Surely a casual relationship won't cause any trouble...
