Tap my TokTik

A Grumpy-Sunshine romantic comedy.

A grumpy property mogul and a romance author walk into a bar... And it doesn't end there. Obviously. But you have to admit, it sounds like a really bad start to a romance novel. Unfortunately, that’s exactly how I met my muse.

When my best friend sets me up on a blind date, I only agree because I’m struggling with that dreaded writer’s block with my newest book, and I need answers only a man can give me. I have no desire to really date, but when my date takes one look at me, and leaves, I find myself at a hotel bar.

Enter Harlan Waters. That grumpy property mogul I mentioned earlier? That’s him. Sexy, masculine, and so very cranky, but willing to answer all my questions. You know how it goes. We have dinner, it’s extremely awkward, and then we’re in his room, having dessert, which is even more awkward. Until it’s not. I broke my own rule, never sleep with the muse, but even worse, I slept with a man who is taken. I’m not that woman, but I can’t deny that meeting Harlan sparked my creativity and filled the pages I was missing. I chalk it off to one night, another New York Times bestseller written and published, and call my therapist because my anxiety is up the whazoo.

Then I see it. A boyfriend application on TikTok posted by his sister. The same woman who blew up his phone the morning after we you know. Have a thought about him since that night? Of course I have. The man inspired an entire novel. But does that mean I have the courage to look for him now that I know he’s single? Well, no. Not until he Taps my TokTik.
