Devoted fangirl meets hesitant fanboy in this swoony contemporary love letter to readers who love fantasy worlds. From Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka, the authors of Do I Know You? and The Breakup Tour.

Jennifer Worth lives to escape into the world of her favourite romantasy series, Elytheum Courts, where the romance is swoony and the men are brave, chivalrous... and winged. Newly single and craving connection, she travels to an immersive fan experience, only to see the last face she expected: Scott Daniels, her work nemesis.

Except the Scott she encounters there, in his second hand cosplay outfit, is... different. Swaggering, flirtatious, confident. Unlucky in romance himself, Scott is determined to remake himself into the perfect book boyfriend.

Jennifer has no interest in helping the man who vexes her every workday and dismisses her fictional fantasies, but as the convention activities force the unlikely pair together, they're surprised to discover magic like none Jennifer has ever read about.

Is enemies-to-lovers romance only for books, or can Jennifer and Scott bring that fantasy to life?

About the Author

Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka met in high school and fell in love over a shared passion for Shakespeare. Austin went on to study English at Harvard so he could continue to impress Emily with his literary analysis, while Emily studied adolescent psychology at Princeton. They live in Los Angeles, where they've combined their interests and decided to write stories of high school, literature and first love.
