A summertime battle between a romance writer who has lost faith in love and a literary writer who is stuck may just turn their notions of happily ever afters upside down.
Literary fiction writer Augustus Everett is well-known. Romances by January Andrews are best-selling. He eliminates every member of his cast after she writes a happily ever after.
They are complete contrasts.
Actually, the only thing they have in common is that they are poor, suffering from writer's block, and spending the next three months in adjacent beach cottages.
Until, one foggy evening, things start to happen one after the other, and they come to an agreement meant to shake them out of their creative slumps: January will write the next Great American Novel, while Augustus will spend the summer penning something cheerful. He'll take her to interview surviving members of a rural death cult, of course, and she'll take him on field excursions fit for any romantic comedy montage. No one will fall in love, but everyone will complete a book. Truly.
