About Second Draft

A bestselling author. A career-defining event. And the actor who might just ruin her life—in the best possible way.Emma Whitehart has her life neatly in order—controller by day, breakout fantasy author by night, and a romantic preference for fictional characters and safely unattainable crushes. Practical, predictable, perfect.But when she arrives at San Diego Comic-Con to promote her book, she walks straight into Darren Cole—British heartthrob with an affinity for morally grey characters, and the very person she may or may not have based her enigmatic, fan-favorite villain on.Over a chaotic weekend of panels, signings, cosplay, and a fandom ready to ship them into orbit, Emma is forced to choose between the safety of her carefully managed life… and the terrifying possibility of something real.Sometimes the second draft is where the real story begins.
