My Side of the Story

"This romantic gem marks Micciche as a writer to watch." --Publishers Weekly STARRED Review for The Book Proposal

In this emotionally gripping tale, two writers meet on vacation and spend a perfect week together, falling immediately, deeply in love. But when they accidentally lose contact, both fly back home to do as writers do: write about it. What could possibly go wrong?

Two years ago, romance novelist Melody Adams and aspiring author Beckett Nash had a whirlwind romance on a dream vacation to Aruba. She was with her ailing mother; he was on a personal writing retreat, trying to finish his very first novel. But their seven-day love affair unraveled when a cascade of mixed signals and disastrous timing caused them both to miss their flight home. Unable to reach each other, both concluded they were being dumped at the worst possible moment.

Then, they each wrote a book about it.

Now, two years later, Beckett has skyrocketed to fame while Melody's been labeled a copycat. Reviewers call her book a "cheap knockoff" of Beckett's "debut masterpiece." The only way to set the record straight is to reconnect and clear up the confusion. But Beckett is engaged to someone else, and Melody is drowning in a maelstrom of her own unresolved feelings. Reuniting with Beckett Nash is about the last thing she needs in her life right now. What's the point, anyway, since they've both moved on...right?
