NOW QUERYING

Rebecca Bradley is fine! Sure, her love-life just imploded, and moving to NYC was a bit impulsive, but she’s got a plan to rewrite her life! And she’s absolutely not running from her problems.
 
Becca’s objective is clear: dust off the dream she’s left waiting in the wings ten years, and finally become a once-in-a-generation playwright! She’ll even take a barista side-gig to bankroll her efforts, but there’s just one wrinkle in the plot—Miles Thompson.
 
Working alongside the perma-grumpy—albeit sexy—jazz musician isn’t Becca’s cup of tea (or coffee) since Miles seems to enjoy turning her workdays into living nightmares. 
 
Without a strong story idea, Becca’s convinced she’s lost her touch, but when the sizzling barista-banter percolates into a series of escalating bets, Miles and Becca are thrust into a dizzying city-wide competition that might be worthy of an audience.
 
Becca intends to use Miles for character study, but when sparks fly between them, she starts questioning everything—from her motives to her talent as a writer. Is their relationship the ultimate romantic plot twist, or just a whole lot of drama? And furthermore, will the dream she’s outlined for herself make it past a first draft?
