When Roxie makes a tongue-in-cheek wish to live out the plot of her favorite author's next novel, she has romance in mind - namely, the sweet, safe, swoon-worthy storylines Anna Matthews is known for. It should be a dream come true when her wish is granted, and she finds herself swept into a first date with a handsome stranger who seems designed to take her breath away. Except for one little hiccup: that handsome stranger tries to take her breath away. Literally. With a knife. The thing is, Roxie may be the new Anna Matthews protagonist - but this time, Anna is writing a crime thriller. Thrown into a perilous genre she's never read, Roxie is desperate for help. So, when her escape takes her straight into the path of Grant Hoffman - an anxious English professor with a convenient love of crime novels - she decides that kidnapping a grown man is a small price to pay for her own survival. Together, Roxie and Grant team up to navigate a madcap story where the lines between fiction and reality blur. They'll find out if they have what it takes to make it to The End - or maybe even Happily Ever After.
