The Hating Game meets Beach Read in this sexy and hilarious enemies-to-lovers romance!

Rosie Maxwell has a plan: move to New York, get her creative writing degree from NYU, become a bestselling romance writer. But that plan is derailed when she ends up in class with her archnemesis and ex-crush, Aiden Huntington, an obnoxious, surly, unreasonably gorgeous literary fiction writer who has no patience for romance – or for Rosie.

Exhausted by Rosie and Aiden’s constant verbal sparring, their professor gives them an ultimatum: leave her class, or cowrite a novel that blends their respective genres.

As Rosie and Aiden collaborate on their (accidentally steamy) novel, they try to put their differences aside. Could their manuscript-in-progress be just the outlet they need to confess their feelings – and explore their mutual attraction?

But a potentially career-changing opportunity soon reignites the flames of their old rivalry. Rosie and Aiden’s once-in-a-lifetime love story is once again at risk of being shelved – unless they can find a way to end the book on their own terms . . .

''This is romcom perfection'' —Lana Ferguson, bestselling author of The Nanny

''Katie Holt’s deliciously tense workplace rivals novel is not one to miss! Aiden and Rosie brought the HEAT and Holt blended spice, humour, and sweetness onto every page expertly'' —Hannah Bonam-Young, USA Today bestselling author of Out on a Limb

''Not in My Book will remind you why you’ve always loved romance novels in the first place. With cozy scenery, sparkling dialogue, and layered characters, I was gasping from the tension Rosie and Aiden built with every word they typed. This book captured my heart from start to finish. It absolutely needs to be on your shelf!'' —Clare Gilmore, author of Love Interest
