She's tired of expectations. He's hiding behind a pen. Together, they'll write a love story no one saw coming.

Lily

Lady Lily Fairfax has had enough of the ton's marriage mart-and her father's unyielding determination to see her wed to the Earl of Knox. Dreams of love and literature seem as out of reach as ever...until a fateful meeting at a country house party introduces her to Alex, Viscount of Callan.

Witty, charming, and as passionate as stories as she is, Alex awakens feelings Lily hadn't known existed. But can she risk defying her father for a chance at happiness? Or will duty extinguish the fire between her and the Viscount before it truly begins?

Alex

Viscount Alex Callan writes love stories he doesn't believe in-at least, not until he meets Lily. Her sharp wit, fierce independence, and love of the theatre make her impossible to resist.

But Alex has secrets of his own: a painful past and a hidden passion he's kept from society's judgmental eyes. As his connection with Lily deepens, so does the risk of his secrets unraveling. Can Alex find the courage to follow his heart, or will fear and duty keep them apart?

Two kindred spirits. One chance at love. A romance destined to be written in the stars.
