Two rival editors. One career-making opportunity. One shared desk.

Rebecca Blume knows two things about Ben Heath: He's a new editor at a rival publishing division, and he has terrible desk-sharing skills.

What starts as a battle of passive-aggressive Post-it notes escalates after the death of literary titan Edward David Adams, A.K.A. "the Lion," when Rebecca and Ben are thrown into a fierce competition to land his estate.

But when secrets about the Lion emerge, they are forced to ask--what role do they want to play in his legacy?

And is their Post-it war actually . . . flirting?

A funny, sexy, unexpectedly moving novel that weaves a contemporary workplace romance with a gripping historical narrative set in the 1980s New York publishing industry.

'Fiercely entertaining . . . its mix of historical fiction, comedy of manners, literary mystery, feminist examination of a beloved author and a splash of romance offers readers lots to love.' BookPage

'Do not go in expecting a typical workplace enemies-to-lovers romance . . . It's compulsively readable and unlike anything I've read before. The characters are dynamic and punchy, the world is vivid, and the drama is delicious' Reader review, 5*
