I needed a job. What I got was a front-row seat to love and literary chaos.

I was supposed to have my life figured out by now?finish my novel, land an agent, become the next big thing. Instead, I'm barely scraping by. So when I land a job as the personal assistant to Donovan West?yes, that Donovan West, the literary icon?I think maybe my luck is turning around.

It takes less than a week to realize I've signed up for more than I bargained for. Donovan is brilliant, impossible, and buried under enough emotional baggage to fill a dozen tragic novels. My job? Keep him organized, keep him writing, and definitely don't fall for him.

Too bad no one told my heart.

Because somewhere between the late-night arguments, the rare moments of vulnerability, and the hurricane that traps us together in a hotel room, I start to see the man behind the legend. And once I do? There's no going back.

But loving a man like Donovan West isn't easy. And convincing him we could be something more than just another story? That might be impossible.

Then again, impossible stories are the ones worth writing.

Making It Real is the first full-length novel in the Making It series, and can be read as a standalone story.
