Rom-com queen Hazel Valentine and broody thriller star Axel Huxley have one rule: be civil in public and keep their war private. That works fine—until their publishers put them on a week-long European train tour, and a booking snafu leaves them with a single sleeper compartment. From a disastrous New York “meet-ugly,” to language lessons, reader Q&As, and fountain-side confessions in Rome, Nice, Barcelona, Paris, and Copenhagen, their banter turns into truth. They face why they split, confront the cheating ex who came between them, and try to keep a lid on the pull that has always been there. The trip forces them to choose between protecting their careers and following their hearts. Warm, witty, and wickedly sexy, My So-Called Sex Life is a fast, funny, big-hearted story about creative partners who find their way back to each other—and discover real book-worthy love.
