Book Release Calendar » Woman Down by Colleen Hoover

Petra Rose used to be the kind of writer who could light up a page with a single sentence. But after a viral backlash over her latest film adaptation, everything falls apart. The internet brands her a fraud, her career stalls, and the pressure of missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage leaves her with nowhere to turn. Worse, the creative spark that once made writing effortless has completely disappeared.

With her savings running out and her next suspense novel hanging by a thread, Petra escapes to a remote lakeside cabin for one final attempt at a comeback. She hopes the silence and isolation will bring her inspiration back, because if it doesn’t, she may lose everything.

Then Detective Nathaniel Saint shows up.

Saint’s presence awakens something in Petra that she thought was gone forever. Her words come rushing back, and the detective becomes more than a source of research for her book. He becomes her muse, and before long, Petra’s fictional detective begins to feel less like a character…and more like a reflection of the man standing right in front of her.

As Petra and Saint spend more time together, their “research” sessions grow intense and dangerously personal. The line between imagination and reality starts to blur, pulling Petra into a romance that fuels her writing in ways she never expected. But inspiration this addictive comes with a price.

When Saint begins inserting himself into Petra’s life and her career, she realizes she may have created something she can’t control. And if she wants to reclaim her name, her future, and the reputation the world stole from her, she’ll have to face the fallout head-on, even if it costs her far more than her career.
