From # 1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Kate comes an enemies-to-lovers romance about an editor, her bestselling author, and one life-changing secret.What she doesn't know about love could fill a book.
With a successful career as a romance editor, and an engagement to a man who checks off all ninety-nine boxes on her carefully curated list, Lanie's more than good. She's killing it. Then she's given the opportunity of a lifetime: to work with world-renowned author and her biggest inspiration in love and life-the Noa Callaway. All Lanie has to do is cure Noa's writer's block and she'll get the promotion she's always dreamed of. Simple, right?
But there's a reason no one has ever seen or spoken to the mysterious Noa Calloway. And that reason will rock Lanie's world. It will call into question everything she thought she knew. When she finally tosses her ninety-nine expectations to the wind, Lanie may just discover that love By Any Other Name can still be as sweet.

Chapter OnePeony Press, this is Lanie Bloom I say, barely getting the phone to my ear before the voice on the other end cuts me off.
Hallelujah-you re-still-at-your-desk!
It s Meg, our senior publicist, and my closest friend at work. She s calling from the Hotel Shivani, where, four hours from now, we ll be hosting a blowout wedding-themed book launch for Noa Callaway our biggest author, and the writer who taught me about love when my mom couldn t. Noa Callaway s books changed my life.
If experience is any guide, we re just slightly overdue for all our best laid plans to go up in flames.
No sign of the signed books. And no fucking pun intended. Can you see if they were sent to the office by mistake, Meg says, a mile a minute. I need time to arrange them into a five-tiered, heart-shaped wedding cake
See? Best laid plans.
Meg, when s the last time you breathed? I ask. Do you need to push your button?
How can you manage to sound pervy and like my mother? Okay, okay, I m pushing my button.
It s a trick her therapist taught her, an imaginary elevator button Meg can press in the hollow of her throat to carry herself down a few levels. I picture her in her all-black ensemble and stylishly giant glasses, standing in the center of the hotel ballroom downtown with assistants buzzing all around, hurrying to transform the modernist SoHo event space into a quaint destination wedding on the Amalfi Coast. I see her closing her eyes and touching the hollow of her throat. She exhales into the phone.
I think it worked, she says.
I smile. I ll track down the books. Anything else before I head over?
Not unless you play the harp, Meg moans.
What happened to the harpist?
We d paid a premium to hire the principal from the New York Phil to pluck Pachelbel s Canon as guests arrive tonight.
The flu happened, Meg says. She offered to send her friend who plays the oboe, but that doesn t exactly scream Italian

wedding . . . does it?
No oboe, I say, my pulse quickening.
These are just problems. As with the first draft of a book, there s always a solution. We just have to find it and make the revision. I m good at this. It s my job as senior editor.
I made a playlist when I was editing the book, I offer to Meg. Dusty Springfield. Etta James. Billie Eilish.
Bless you. I ll have someone copy it when you get down here. You ll need your phone for your speech, right?
A flutter of nerves spreads through my chest. Tonight is the first time I ll be taking the stage before an audience at a Noa Callaway launch. Usually, my boss makes the speeches, but Alix is on maternity leave, so the spotlight will be on me.
Lanie, I gotta go, Meg says, a new burst of panic in her voice. Apparently we re also missing two hundred dollars worth of cake balloons. And now they re saying, because it s Valentine s goddamned eve, they re too busy to make any more
The line goes dead.
In the hours before a big Noa Callaway event, we sometimes forget that we re not performing an emergency appendectomy.
I think this is because, well, the first rule of a Noa Callaway book launch is . . . Noa Callaway won t be there.
Noa Callaway is our powerhouse author, with forty million books in print around the world. She is also the rare publishing phenomenon who doesn&rsq
