greater than fiction

Amy Murray's life has more plot holes than a poorly crafted novel. Her finances need a page-one rewrite, and her relationship reads more like a Greek tragedy than a happily ever after. Her last hope is a prospective publishing contract, but a family crisis has introduced debilitating writer's block into her story.

With a three-book deal on the line, Amy springs for a trip to the Adriatic coast—the setting of her romantic suspense series—and hopes inspiration will strike before her final deadline does. Instead, she finds more twists than a Harlan Coben novel as everything that could go wrong does.

Desperate and running out of time, Amy transforms herself into the sexy, savvy heroine from her unfinished novel. She sees her story in a whole new light. Her revisions are coming along, and the happy ending she needs is finally within reach—until she meets the wrong people. Three mean girls have arrived on the island where Amy's "character study" is underway, and their growing suspicion threatens to unravel her carefully constructed alter ego.

After a string of close calls, she realizes the ruse has gone too far when local heartthrob Luka admits he's falling for her—but he has professed his feelings to the character Amy is cosplaying, a fictional persona that doesn’t exist outside her novels. She knows a relationship could never work, but as her own feelings deepen, she must decide whether to keep her secret (and her heart) safe until it’s time to go home, or risk it all by unmasking herself and seeing if he could love the real her.
