Our Afterlight August theme is . . . DATING DISASTERS!
It started as a dating disaster, but we can turn this to dating dynamite.
Our Afterlight August book is a standalone contemporary adult romance! When a journalist’s boss overhears him recounting a terrible blind date experience, they suggest a feature: teach his awkward blind date how to be a better boyfriend through a series of set-up dates. Deciding to do it—with his own agenda—the journalist embarks on a quest of education. However, the more time he spends with his fake-date, the more genuine the journalist’s feelings become. Torn between desires for his career and his growing feelings, he must decide what he truly wants to be happy.
