Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Role Play by Kay Cove. Being an indie romance author was supposed to be the dream, but after publishing countless books without a breakthrough, I'm starting to feel like my career is slipping into obscurity.
In a last-ditch effort, I hire a marketing expert who promises to turn things around. But after a chaotic hunt for the perfect “book boyfriend” and one impulsive night at a bar, I end up blowing my entire budget on an escort.
Forrest is a swoon-worthy single dad by day and a dangerously seductive escort by night. Before I can fire him and demand a refund, he reminds me why I started writing in the first place: I’m not just chasing success. I’m chasing inspiration.
