A Novel Proposal, by Denise Hunter

Denise Hunter, bestselling author of The Convenient Groom (now a Hallmark Original movie), delivers a sweet and sizzling story of a romance writer surprised by her own happily ever after.

Novelist Sadie Goodwin is forced to stop writing westerns and jump into the contemporary romance genre to save her lackluster sales. However, there's one little problem: she's never been in love.

Desperate to save her career, Sadie starts devouring romance novels. Knowing she must devote herself to this confounding genre, she accepts an invitation to hole up at her friend's beach duplex for the summer. Where else could she get a front row seat to love in bloom than on the beautiful North Carolina shore?

Yet, things take an unexpected turn when Sadie opens a recently-placed novel to find a secret compartment, and inside is a beautiful engagement ring. To whom does the ring belong? Sadie is convinced she must find the owner and save the man's proposal from certain doom.

She draws her reluctant neighbor, Sam, into the project, and slowly their connection deepens. Are these weird fluttery feelings the first stirrings of love? Has Sadie managed to stumble upon the very subject about which she must write, and wouldn't Sam make the perfect alpha hero?

Will Sadie find the ring's rightful owner? Will she ever manage to write a career-saving romance novel before the end of the summer?
