Rebecca Baxter has killed James Reid multiple times. Well, the fictional version of him anyway.
As an astronomer, James likes debunking the “science” in science fiction books. As a romance author, Rebecca is more concerned with happy endings than string theory. After a video he made criticising her best selling sci-fi romance book sparked an online feud, the two of them can’t stand to be in the same room together.
Still reeling from the writer’s block (and emotional damage) James’ review caused her, she works out her feelings by writing elaborate death scenes for him and vows to never speak to him again. That is until they’re both selected for an analog Mars mission in Antarctica.
They’ll be spending four months locked in a small dome, pretending they’re on another planet. Unfortunately, avoiding someone is extra difficult when you’re stuck on a barren continent and can’t stop daydreaming about kissing them.
These two are about to find out just how quickly hate can defrost into love…

Out now (on KU and in Paperback)

Dani Solomon started writing when she was eight years old. She’s on the cusp of publishing her debut romance novel she’s been working on for years. On top of that, she’s a full-time college student studying creative writing and magazine journalism.
When Dani was a teenager, she lost someone she was very close to. Now, almost a decade later, she’s still haunted by the traumatic experience when her eyes are wide open and when they’re tightly shut. Luckily for her, she had a distraction in the form of the annoyingly charming Noah Kaplan. Okay, maybe she wasn’t so lucky. She had to endure spending time with him since she was a little girl because their mothers have been best friends since college.
Dani and Noah were the bane of each other’s existence. Noah Kaplan started writing when he was eleven years old. He’s close to publishing his debut mystery/thriller novel he’s been working on since high school. Along with getting his debut novel out into the world, he’s a full-time college student studying creative writing and film.
Five years have passed by since Noah and Dani uttered a single word to each other. An unexpected tragedy brings them back together and it’s like no time has passed. The only difference is the undeniable chemistry and palpable tension between them.
As the two of them reconnect, their distaste for one another transforms into something neither of them expect or maybe they saw it coming from the very beginning.

Ali's Notes:
