The Written Gentleman (paperback)

Eden Carter created the perfect fictional man. She just didn’t expect him to show up in real life.

Eden is an introvert living a quiet life in London. She works at a bookshop, avoids her boss as much as possible, and spends most of her time lost in romance novels. When her mother, bestselling author Bertha Parker, jokingly challenges Eden to create the perfect romantic lead for her new historical novel, A Sister’s Oath, Eden takes it to heart. The result is Edmund Exton, a dreamy Regency-era hero the world falls in love with, and one Eden can’t help falling for herself.

When the hit historical book series is adapted for TV, and actor Ben Hill, cast as Edmund, looks exactly like the version Eden has pictured for years, it should be a dream come true. Right? Wrong. Because behind the perfect face, the real-life Edmund is arrogant, impossible, and utterly insufferable.

But as the cameras roll and the fantasy collides with reality, Eden begins to wonder... can she see past the insufferable actor to the real man underneath? And when fiction starts to feel a little too much like real life, will Eden discover that her true love story isn’t on the page at all, but standing right in front of her?
