Petra Rose is a world-famous author whose star has fallen somewhat after viral backlash over her latest film adaptation. Struck with a horrible case of writers block, she heads to a secluded lakeside cabin to find inspiration and reset. Her savings are running out, and she will be in serious trouble if she can’t finish this novel. All seems lost when something disturbing happens in her neighborhood, bringing a handsome detective her way. Nathaniel Saint is exactly who Petra had envisioned as the male lead in her newest book. Her creative juices return, and she finds herself more inspired than she’s been in years. Petra lets Saint in on this, and he offers to help. Their “research sessions” start to get steamy, and Petra finds herself feeling more alive than ever before. But when Saint begins to take his role in Petra’s career a little bit too seriously, Petra starts to get scared. A lot is on the line. I will say no more but this was just okay for me. It started out very slow and got nice and twisty, but I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I’d hoped!
