Description

Gertie Bickerstaff writes happily-ever-afters for a living. Too bad her own love story has completely fallen apart.

Heartbroken, stuck with a looming deadline, and suffering from a serious case of writer's block, Gertie can't manage to write a single word of her latest romance novel.

Then she wakes up to find a rugged, shirtless cowboy sitting on her sofa.

Even more impossible? She knows exactly who he is.

River Oakley is the villain from her unfinished novel—and somehow, he's become very real.

River desperately wants to return to his world, while Gertie just wants her old life back. So they make a deal: River will use his cunning, morally questionable talents to help Gertie win back her ex, and in return, she'll finish his story so he can hopefully go home.

Simple enough.

Except the longer Gertie spends with River, the harder it becomes to see him as the villain she created. Beneath the cowboy swagger and bad-boy reputation is a man who might deserve his own happily-ever-after.

And Gertie starts wondering whether she's been trying to write the wrong ending all along.

Because sometimes the villain makes a much better romantic hero.

Funny, sexy, and delightfully magical, Romantic Hero is a romance about heartbreak, writer's block, fictional characters coming to life, and discovering that the best love stories are often the ones you never planned to write.
