**"By The Book is in my hands and I could not be any more excited to
celebrate it! Jasmine is on a short list of my tried and true
comfort-read authors. I don't know how she manages to weave such depth
into her characters while still making the whole reading experience feel
SO GOOD AND NICE but she does, every single time."

*Sometimes to truly know a person, you have to read between the
lines.
Isabelle is completely lost. When she first began her career in
publishing after college, she did not expect to be twenty-five, still
living at home, and one of the few Black employees at her publishing
house. Overworked and underpaid, constantly torn between speaking up or
stifling herself, Izzy thinks there must be more to this publishing
life. So when she overhears her boss complaining about a beastly
high-profile author who has failed to deliver his long-awaited
manuscript, Isabelle sees an opportunity to finally get the promotion
she deserves.
All she has to do is go to the author's Santa Barbara mansion and give
him a pep talk or three. How hard could it be?
But Izzy quickly finds out she is in over her head. Beau Towers is not
some celebrity lightweight writing a tell-all memoir. He is jaded and
withdrawn and--it turns out--just as lost as Izzy. But despite his
standoffishness, Izzy needs Beau to deliver, and with her encouragement,
his story begins to spill onto the page. They soon discover they have
more in common than either of them expected, and as their deadline
nears, Izzy and Beau begin to realize there may be something there that
wasn't there before.***
*Best-selling author Jasmine Guillory's achingly romantic reimagining
of a classic is a tale as old as time . . . for a new generation.
