Roman

📖 RomanBy Jennifer L. RayShe was only supposed to follow him for research. He was never supposed to fall into her life—literally.Roman lives a quiet life with her sharp-tongued grandmother and a secret that no one—not even her closest friends—knows: she writes steamy romance novels under a pen name. And her latest hero? Inspired by a brooding stranger she spotted downtown one afternoon. She couldn’t help but follow him… strictly for research, of course.But Johnathan isn’t just mysterious—he’s dangerous. An undercover detective on assignment in her small Southern town, he knows he’s being watched and plays it cool—until he’s shot in broad daylight and collapses on top of the very woman who’s been trailing him.Wounded and out of options, he whispers that he’s in danger. Roman takes him home, hoping to keep him alive—and maybe figure out why her heart is beating like one of her book scenes. Her no-nonsense grandma sees through her immediately and takes over his care, leaving Roman flustered, hiding her secret life, and falling hard for a man who shouldn’t be staying under her roof.Funny, sexy, and full of Southern charm, Roman is a story about lust, love, secrets, and the trouble that comes when a writer’s fantasy walks right into her real life—with a gunshot wound and a badge.
