Rosie Maxwellová má jasný plán! Chce sa stať uznávanou autorkou ľúbostných románov, a tak sa zapojí do programu kreatívneho písania Newyorskej univerzity. Všetko je dokonalé až do chvíle, keď sa ocitne v jednej triede so svojím úhlavným nepriateľom Aidenom Huntigtonom. Áno, možno sa jej kedysi páčil, a áno, rozhodne je až rozčuľujúco príťažlivý, ale všetko kazí svojou mrzutou a neznesiteľnou povahou. Zdá sa, že ani on ako autor existenčných románov nemá trpezlivosť s Rosie a jej romantickými nezmyslami. Profesorka, unavená ich večnými hádkami, im dá na výber – buď opustia jej kurz, alebo spoločne napíšu román, v ktorom prepoja oba svoje žánre. Rosie a Aiden sa rozhodnú spolupracovať a pustia sa do písania prekvapivo vzrušujúceho príbehu. Možno je toto ten najlepší spôsob, ako sa uvoľniť a preskúmať vzájomnú príťažlivosť. Sľubne sa vyvíjajúci projekt však narazí na prekážku a nezhody medzi Rosie a Aidenom opäť naplno prepuknú. Každý má totiž inú predstavu o tom, ako by sa mal skončiť ich spoločný ľúbostný príbeh. Preklad z anglického originálu Not in My Book (Alcove Press, an imprint of The Quick Brown Fox & Company LLC, New York, 2024) Patrícia Hatiarová.

The monstrous Carryx empire was built by subjugation and war.
