About the book

Love makes an unexpected entrance into the chat in this delightfully funny and heartfelt romantic comedy created by Kylie Scott, a New York Times bestselling and Audie award-winning author.

As a romance writer, Riley Cooper has always imagined herself living near the water. However, shortly after arriving in the picturesque coastal town of Port Stewart to work on her latest book, she starts receiving calls and messages intended for a mysterious man on her new phone number. These messages vary from strange to sorrowful to sensual, sparking her curiosity and desire to meet the person behind them.

Connor, tired of the on-again, off-again nature of his relationship with his high school sweetheart, yearns for a fresh start. Yet, the nosy residents of Port Stewart seem determined to keep him in the past. Craving a change of perception, he sees an opportunity in the arrival of the girl who inadvertently inherited his old number and proposes a fake relationship to divert attention.

While Riley views spending time with the charming former prom king as inspiration for her writing, she struggles to suppress her growing emotions. The more she discovers about Connor, the deeper she falls. Could their chance encounter blossom into something genuine and lasting?
