#Maskedtok

I’m one more failed relationship away from giving up on love and romance all together. After the last relationship, I have a serious lack of trust in men, so much so that even writing about a fictional one seems daunting. So what do you do when your publicist is demanding your next romance book? You call in reinforcements in the form of your best friend.

I’ve never been a trend follower, so when my best friend Stormi suggests I change tactics and write about a masked stalker, I initially shoot the idea down, but when a certain masked man enters my radius, I am all in.

The plan was to just watch. Observe.

However, after a few too many drinks, I sent him a message.

What began as something innocent quickly took a turn...

He knows things about me, things I don’t recall telling him.

It was only supposed to be for research. A platonic relationship based on a goal - write my next bestseller. But when life starts to imitate art, the line between friendship and romance begins to blur.
