Falling for the Protagonist By Bex Goos

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FALL HEAD OVER HEELS FOR A MAN WHO LIVES ENTIRELY BETWEEN THE PAGES?

After paying an unorthodox visit to a sex psychic recommended by her sister, Emmy Miura curls up with a newly purchased romance novel and promptly falls asleep. But when she wakes up the next morning, she is in an utterly impossible place: tangled in the sheets of the book’s brooding, gorgeous male protagonist.

Emmy has no intention of disrupting Will Barrett’s meticulously written world, even if he is entirely fictional. After all, Will is perfectly content with his quiet life in the idyllic, make-believe town of Cobalt, Massachusetts—complete with a steady nursing job, wonderful friends, and a charming home inherited from his grandfather. Understandably, Will does not take it well when Emmy has to break the news that his entire existence is just ink on paper. While Will reels from the existential shock, Emmy is frantic to figure out a way back home. Yet, against all her best intentions, she finds herself falling hopelessly in love with him. Even wilder? Will feels the same way—much to the absolute outrage of the novel's original love interest. When a way out of the book finally presents itself, Will refuses to stay behind. Can two people build a real-life romance out of pure fiction? There’s only one way to find out.
