Absolutely Not Him

A Small-Town Romantic Comedy About Redemption…Enemies-to-Lovers Style

Move over, Prada. There’s a new devil in town. And she wears leather.

One thrown stiletto.
One viral scandal.
Two people quietly plotting revenge.

Manhattan’s most feared fashion editor, Frankie Peterson, had a plan.

Conquer the fashion world. Check.
Avoid distractions like forever love. Check.
Stay true to her motto: Apologies are for the lily-livered. CHECK.

Then she threw a stiletto during Fashion Week.

The moment went viral.
Her reputation imploded.
And now she’s been exiled to Gi Gi’s Crossing to practice being nice.

Spoiler alert: she’s not.

Marcus DeLuca Grant is the man Frankie’s flying footwear nearly concussed. While his need to stay out of the spotlight prevents him from confronting her face-to-face, it does not stop him from arranging her punishment.

Which is how Frankie ends up in the same small town where Marcus is quietly restoring an abandoned manor.

Pretending to be a runaway heiress, Frankie arrives in a wig, leather, and a personality sweet enough to rot teeth.

She has no idea Marcus is the man behind her banishment.

And Marcus fully intends to keep it that way.

Except the longer Marcus spends around the sharp-tongued fashion editor, the harder it becomes to remember why banishing her to Gi Gi’s Crossing seemed like such a good idea in the first place.

As sparks fly and the truth edges closer to the surface, Frankie and Marcus must decide what happens when the person you planned to destroy becomes the one person you cannot walk away from.

Absolutely Not Him is Book One in the Not Him series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
