The road to love is bumpy in Charlotte Stein's While You Were Seething - a sexy and heartwarming contemporary romance filled with fake dating hijinks, delicious forced proximity, and top tier banter. 'The queen of delicious pining' - Talia Hibbert, author of Get A Life, Chloe BrownDaisy Emmett has been enemies with famous romance author Caleb Miller since they were in college together, and time hasn't lessened their mutual loathing. So, when she agrees to maneuver him through a PR disaster of his own making, she knows it's not going to be easy. She just doesn't realise how not easy until they somehow end up trapped in the same truck, on an endless road trip from one book tour stop to another, bantering and butting heads along the way. Then, even more horrifying: people appear to be mistaking her for the woman he dedicates all his books to. The love of his life, his adored beloved-the one who doesn't actually exist. Now they're trapped into pretending she does and that Daisy is her, each fake kiss and phony embrace ratcheting up the tension to the point where enemies suddenly seems a lot closer to lovers than either of them would like. Or so they're telling themselves. But sometimes it's hard to be sure, when seething turns into something so much more . . . Readers love While You Were Seething:'Delightful sarcasm, snark, and banter with a bite of steamy spice''Daisy is easily one of my favorite FMCs I've read this year''It was thoroughly delightful and scratched all of my itches'
