Once Upon the Times

A hilarious and emotional celebrity romantic-comedy, in which a real estate developers prim and polished world unravels when her secret romance novel is adapted for film. 

When a wildly famous influencer discovers Endless Summer Nights, Ivy’s forgotten romance novel published under a pen name, it becomes a viral sensation—which is the last thing she wants. Because Ivy’s book is not exactly harmless fiction . . . it’s a barely disguised, very explicit account of her relationship with Jordan Goodrich—her cheating ex-fiancé, and direct competition for the VP of Development position she’s spent years earning.

So while the world starts hunting for the mysterious author behind the book, Ivy does the only reasonable thing: she keeps her mouth shut, gets on a plane to Florida, and throws herself into work at The Lighthouse, a high-end resort on Rock Island. But when the bestseller is fast-tracked into a film adaptation set on the resort, and starring the prickly, but handsome A-list actor Sterling Godley—Ivy finds herself trapped in the middle of the secret she’s desperate to keep buried. And it isn’t too long before she wonders if that part of herself that she’s tried so hard to hide just might be the part most worth fighting for.
