The Story So Far …
“Just because the main character in a film or in a book says ’I love you’ doesn’t make it a romantic love story.”
Avalon “Ave” Georgine Ainsley Lange Michaels, the romantic-cynic.
Ave Michaels has never had her heart broken. Ever.
Scratch that.
She had never fallen in love. Ever.
In fact, she had had it with love – and with men in general. As far as she knew, they come and go as fleeting as a flies.
And though most girls her age had gone through the teenage affairs of love and heartbreaks, she is content minding her own business as a free independent and emotionally vacant soul.
Of course, Ave has problems like any girl her age, namely:
·High school dramas
·Wardrobe malfunctions and bad hair days
·Lacking female sensibilities
·Being the black sheep in a picture-perfect family
·Social awkwardness
·Liking the wrong guys
·Being friend-zoned by said guys
The list goes on. But then again, Ave is not just a high school student and resident rebel.
To a relative few, she is Lane Maxwell, aspiring writer and the youngest next bestselling author for one of the country’s biggest publishing houses.
That is, if she gets the job done.
THE JOB: WRITING A ROMANCE NOVEL…
Sounds easy, right?
Turns out writing a romance novel worthy of recognition is hard. And for a cynical commitment-phobe who had never been in love, it just gets harder.
Taking the advice of her friends, she comes up with a list. A list where she gets to walk down the memory lane and recall what went wrong with all the guys she dates and the things that were right (for research purposes, of course!) all with the goal of keeping her heart out of the mix. And though that plan was perfect, she never expected trouble (and inspiration) comes in three drop-dead gorgeous surprises.
All of a sudden, she finds herself questioning everything in her life, every decision she ever made so far – including her rule.
Could her DITCH rule really be as heartbreak-proof as she thought it was?
Or was it the thing keeping her from letting herself fall in love and getting the guy?
