Chelsie Crammer has built a successful career writing romance novels. Her books sell well, her readers remain loyal, and her publisher never hesitates to ask for another manuscript.
Yet success has created an uncomfortable question.
Has she already written the best story she will ever tell?
Hoping to break the pattern, Chelsie and her husband move to a quiet cottage beside a forest lake. The isolation gives her the time and space she needs to begin a new novel and create a new character named David.
At first, the writing comes easily.
Then the manuscript begins to change.
New scenes appear. Entire passages take shape on the page.
Chelsie doesn't remember writing them.
The voice in the new chapters belongs to David, the hero in her story.
Chelsie created him. She knows how he thinks. She knows how he speaks. She built him line by line.
Chelsie can explain how she created David.
She cannot explain how he began writing back.
