Rewriting the rules could be the best—or worst—thing that ever happened to them.



Adler Haley writes great sex . . . just not under her name. And certainly not about her experiences—or lack thereof. There's no safer place to express herself than behind the obscurity of ghostwriting romance novels. By day, Adler's perfectly content to blend in at her boring nine-to-five as an executive assistant.



At least until she meets Joel—her new boss who has her wondering if love at first sight is more than just fiction.



Joel Lewis is convinced that relationships bring out the bad in people. And marriage? The worst. Needing a fresh start, Joel trades the Big Apple to take the helm at a struggling venture capitalist firm in Denver. After meeting his new assistant, he has to work overtime to adhere to the no-relationships policy he's instated for his life.



Armed with The F-Buddy Rules for Survival, Adler and Joel find themselves whisked into the most entertaining 'situationship' of their lives. But it's not long before Adler discovers a major issue with the rules—they weren't meant to protect her from falling in love.



They were only ever meant to keep Joel from finding out.



Contains mature themes.
