The Busiest Place You Know (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218732578)

Grab a cup of coffee, find a spot by the fire, and come along with debut author Allison DeRosia as she takes you to Northern Michigan for this atmospheric small-town romance.

A second chance romance between an author and her editor. Oh, and she just unknowingly moved in next door.

Then, with a fresh book deal and a rough manuscript in hand, Lauren Dorada left teaching behind and moved to Chicago to pursue her writing full time. Her agent even landed her the infamous Rhett Atwood as an editor. Known for being cold and ruthless, Rhett has earned himself a spot on some best-selling projects as well as a spot on most people's bad sides. Including Lauren's. With harsh critiques and borderline cruel corrections, Lauren feels like she won't win. But then something shifts between them. And after many late nights working, she gets a glimpse at Rhett's softer side, and the two quickly cross the line they drew in the sand.

But then, he left.

Now, it's been nearly a year since the two have spoken, and her debut novel has been selling better than she could have ever dreamed. With her second manuscript ready for editing, her publisher gives her one condition before he signs her on again.

Rhett Atwood has to be the one to edit it.

So when the opportunity to spend the fall at a cabin in the backwoods of northern Michigan arises, she thinks it's her perfect escape out of the city for a few months and a way to keep her work with Rhett limited to purely email.

That is, until Rhett is standing on her cabin's doorstep.

Not only is Rhett staying next door, but he lives there. Can the two put aside what has gone unspoken for the sake of Lauren's career? Or will what went unsaid be what finally drives them apart for good?

The Busiest Place You Know is a scenery-rich, atmospheric escape that explores what it means to be loved, be seen, and be known.

This dual-timeline story unravels a tangled web of complicated families and tangled feelings.
