Noia Wilde built her career writing swoon-worthy happily-ever-after’s, but when her fiancé leaves her high and dry at the altar, her whole world comes tumbling down.

Heartbroken, humiliated, and stuck in a creative rut, the once-prolific ‘Queen of Steam’ can’t write anything to save her life. Her characters won’t talk to her, her deadline is looming and her wine stash is getting seriously low.
But everything changes one morning when she wakes up to find a dangerously sexy, hauntingly familiar shirtless man in her kitchen—Ryder Blackwood—the tortured, irresistible hero in her latest WIP from her bestselling series, Heartstruck.

As Noia scrambles to figure out what is real, what’s fiction, and whether she has finally lost her freaking mind, one thing becomes crystal clear: Ryder isn’t going anywhere until he gets his own happy ending—and he’s decided it’s going to be with her.

So, when her messy past collides with her present, Noia will have to choose between the man who broke her heart, and the one she willed into existence to heal it.
