A book about love, tequila and learning The Hustle . . . not necessarily in that order . . .
Thirty-three-year-old Cassie Hayes can't cook, unless you count coffee as a meal (she does); she can't commit (just ask her ex-husband); and she drinks more than is generally considered advisable. As a literary editor who's guided her share of authors to the bestsellers list, Cassie's facing her biggest challenge yet - she must coax a sequel out of a notoriously reclusive Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
Moving into his house in the middle of nowhere so she can edit his manuscript shows dedication. But teaching him The Hustle so he can win the heart of his Spanish housekeeper is way beyond the call of duty. Without coffeehouses, bagels and other rudiments of civilisation, Cassie feels herself slowly unravelling.
On top of that, her favourite author, the mysterious London-based Michael Pearton, has suddenly decided to ruin their five-year affair by insisting they actually meet. Throw in a tabloid reporter who is determined to get the literary scoop of a lifetime, and Cassie's dance card is full.
