As the executive assistant to one of the most powerful literary agents in the world, I’ve seen what it takes to become a successful writer. I don’t have it. I’ve wanted to be a novelist since I was a little girl, but after years of struggle, I’m done. I want out. In two weeks, I’m leaving New York and going home to my parent’s farm... moreAs the executive assistant to one of the most powerful literary agents in the world, I’ve seen what it takes to become a successful writer. I don’t have it. I’ve wanted to be a novelist since I was a little girl, but after years of struggle, I’m done. I want out. In two weeks, I’m leaving New York and going home to my parent’s farm. Every day since leaving graduate school, I’ve gone to work at Grayson and Associates, and every day, I’ve seen brilliant, creative authors whose dreams have come true. I make them coffee and ensure that we’ve got their correct contact information in our database. Suffice it to say, my life has not turned out as I had hoped. Then Jacob Shaw, thriller writer and star of many of my more private fantasies, walks up to my cubicle with a proposition, and almost before I know it, I’m on a plane to Europe as his assistant for a two-week book tour. Jacob is almost too wonderful for words. He’s kind, sweet, and patient. He encourages me to write and follow my dreams. I like that. I like him. Beneath his handsome, confident exterior, though, I see a man who desperately needs a friend. I may not be much of a writer, and I may not be the greatest assistant in the world, but I’ve got this friendship thing down. Maybe we’ll make some of my private fantasies real. MUST LOVE TRAVEL is the first book in the funny, sexy, and smart Grayson Agency series. less

It sounded like a good idea at the time. Daniel was attractive, single, and disease free. I was attractive, single, and disease free. He liked relationships without strings. I liked relationships without strings. He seemed so perfect… Looking back, I should have gone with someone a little less virile. So now I’m pregnant with a coworker’s baby. It’s not the end of the world. I’ll have a healthy pregnancy and put a healthy baby up for adoption in nine months... moreIt sounded like a good idea at the time.

He seemed so perfect… Looking back, I should have gone with someone a little less virile. So now I’m pregnant with a coworker’s baby. It’s not the end of the world. I’ll have a healthy pregnancy and put a healthy baby up for adoption in nine months. I’ll move on with my life, and my baby will grow up with a family who loves and cares for him. Everything will work out. Then, my boss calls me into his office and gives me a new assignment, the biggest of my working life. I’ll work directly with Daniel to create a new department at Grayson and Associates, the literary agency at which we work. It’s an opportunity I can’t screw up. But the more I work with Daniel, the less I care about the assignment. Daniel is kind and sweet, gentle and good, strong and patient. He wants to keep our child. My career doesn’t leave me room in my life for a partner, let alone a child, but suddenly I want both. So which do I chose? A career I love, or a life and family I never knew I wanted? I wish I had a clue. less

I met Derek the day I was born. I don’t remember it, but apparently I vomited on him. He probably deserved it. He was my big brother’s best friend, and growing up, I loved him before I even knew what it meant to love someone. Then, he walked out of my life when I needed him most. A decade ago, I lost my brother to a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. I lost Derek at my brother’s funeral. It hurt, but I moved on. I followed my dreams. I tried to become an actress... moreI met Derek the day I was born. I don’t remember it, but apparently I vomited on him. He probably deserved it. He was my big brother’s best friend, and growing up, I loved him before I even knew what it meant to love someone. Then, he walked out of my life when I needed him most. A decade ago, I lost my brother to a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. I lost Derek at my brother’s funeral. It hurt, but I moved on. I followed my dreams. I tried to become an actress. When that didn’t work out, I moved home to follow in my father’s footsteps. Now, I restore old houses for a living. Or at least I try to. It’s not the glamorous life I expected, but it’s what I’ve got. Then Derek walks back into my life. I can’t deny that he’s handsome or that he makes me feel warm when he walks into a room. It doesn’t take long to realize that he’s not the same man I knew ten years ago. In fact, he was never that man. He was always kinder and nobler than I ever knew. The two of us have almost nothing in common anymore. He’s a wealthy, successful screenwriter. I live in my office and sleep on a couch. The only thing we have in common is a past neither of us can ignore. And love that could burn our lives to the ground. MUST LOVE MOVIES is a fun friends-to-lovers story with a bit of angst, a healthy serving of steam, and a whole lot of heart. It’s the third standalone love story in Beth Gerard’s Grayson Agency Series. Readers can enjoy Beth’s books in any order. less
