Beg, Borrow, or Steal: A When in Rome Novel
By Sarah Adams | New York Times Bestselling Author
💘 THE ULTIMATE RIVALS-TO-LOVERS ROMCOM
Return to Rome, Kentucky for a steamy alliance between two feuding teachers with a literary secret.
Secret Side Hustles and Small-Town Scandals
Emily Walker thrives on order, a carefully crafted world that is utterly disrupted when her legendary nemesis, Jack Bennett, returns to Rome, Kentucky. Jack represents everything Emily’s fictional heroes are not—which is awkward, considering Emily spends her nights writing steamy romance novels under a secret pen name. She thought she was rid of him when he left mid-school year with his fiancée, but Jack is back, single, and living right next door.
Jack is just as eager to keep his own secret: he’s a bestselling mystery novelist. While he's busy renovating his house and pushing Emily's buttons, a catastrophic mistake brings their worlds crashing together. Emily accidentally sends an email to the school principal that could expose her secret literary career. To save her reputation, she must "steal" back her manuscript, and she needs Jack’s help to pull off the heist.
Chemistry, Sabotage, and Steamy Plot Twists
As the two teachers form an unlikely alliance, their chemistry-fueled animosity reaches a breaking point. Sarah Adams delivers her signature blend of wit and heart, exploring what happens when the person who knows exactly how to push your buttons is also the only person who truly understands your secret world.
