Side by Side

Chris Wright has one shot at his dream. After years of late nights and countless revisions, an agent finally takes notice of Chris’s novel—but with one catch: he has a tight deadline to deliver a major rewrite. With bills stacking up and no extra time to pick up more shifts, Chris feels like he's barely holding his life together. Then, fate throws him a curveball in the form of Mia.

Chris Wright thought life couldn’t get any better. His debut novel is gaining traction, he’s built a life with Mia, and everything seems to be falling into place—until Hollywood comes calling. A studio wants to adapt his book, but there’s one catch: he has to co-write the screenplay with their in-house writer, Zooey. Zooey is sharp, demanding, and impossible to read. From the moment they meet, the sparks fly—some from friction, some from something else entirely. She pushes Chris in ways he never expected, testing his patience, his talent, and his ability to ignore how badly he wants her.
