Slow Burn Summer By Josie Silver

Sometimes pretending to be someone else helps you figure out who you really are. Freshly divorced and in need of a job – Kate Elliot’s life needs a rewrite. So when she unearths an old letter from her ex-talent agent, Jojo Francisco – she takes it as a sign from the universe to brush off her old acting skills and become someone else entirely. Meanwhile, Charlie Francisco is back from LA, leaving his dumpster fire of a life behind. He may be well over his head in filling the shoes of his late eccentric father but he is determined to prove he can, and he might just have the job for Kate: to pose as the author for a novel that the real writer wants nothing to do with. It’s not quite the glamourous gig she was hoping for, but he’s looking for a nobody and she needs cash fast. When Kate and Charlie meet they’re all friction and sparks, but they have one thing in common – they’re determined to play their parts.
