Summary
Henry thinks on it for a moment. “I write a romance. You write literary fiction. Whoever sells first, wins?”
Alex grins, suddenly feeling more invigorated about writing than he has over the last year combined. “And because I’m feeling generous, I’ll even teach you how.”
“How to write a romance?” Henry asks, eyebrows shooting up toward his hairline once more.
Alex nods. “During the week, we work. We write. Whatever. But on Saturdays, I’ll take you out and show you how a real romantic lead does it.”
Henry clears his throat and the tops of his cheeks darken again in a way that makes Alex feel far more satisfied than it probably should. “And on Sundays, I show you how I conduct research for my writing.”
He sticks out a hand for Henry to shake. “You’ve got yourself a deal.”
The smile on Henry’s face as he takes Alex’s hand feels dangerous in a way that he can’t quite place. “Deal.”
Or, the one where Alex and Henry are (only kind of) rival authors who wind up living next door to each other in the same beach town all summer and nothing goes as planned.
