Second Chance Duet

A swoony, enemies-to-lovers romance about a struggling composer whose big break comes at a cost when she’s paired with her college nemesis. “A fresh, fun take on rivals to lovers with a sweet romance and plenty of heat.” —Nisha J. Tuli, USA Today bestselling author of Not Safe For Work Celia García has always had one dream: to compose film scores. But after a decade of advertising jingles, that dream couldn’t be further out of reach—until an old college friend presents her with a life-changing opportunity. A big-name director so desperately needs a composer for his TV debut that he’ll take a chance on someone new. There’s only one catch—Celia has to work—and live—with her college nemesis, Oliver Barlowe. Celia remembers Oliver as arrogant, rude, and entitled—the picture-perfect scion of Hollywood royalty. Soon, though, late nights and long days together reveal how much Oliver’s changed, sparking new feelings and the discovery that their rivalry wasn’t quite as mutual as she thought. But in an industry where she needs to work twice as hard to be seen as half as good, a romance with Oliver could end Celia’s career just as it’s starting “A forced proximity confection that's equal parts juicy and joyful … dual timeline tension, female friendship, and delectable spice.” —Katie Naymon, author of You Between the Lines
