Paige Turner and her book club friends live a thousand lives through the characters of their romance books. In real life, they’re just one of the millions of people running around New York City. That is until a New Year’s Resolution to lose her virginity forces Paige to step out from behind the pages of her books. Paige strikes out on romantic adventures inspired by the main characters of her favorite romance books from every genre and trope to fulfill her resolution.
Paige learns that it’s a truth universally acknowledged that billionaire bosses are hot, that some meet-cutes aren’t cute at all, that furries can fill in for shifters in a pinch to fulfill a paranormal romance trope, and sometimes that sexy cop really is there to arrest you.
Paige is in for the adventure of her life, from virginity auctions to secret clubs to emergency room visits. But she learns that it’s not the romance that makes the heroine the main character. It’s finding her inner strength, determination, and confidence that makes her the heroine of her own story. Can Paige fulfill her New Year’s resolution without getting arrested or fired and maybe even find herself and love by the end of the year?
