To win the job of her dreams, a relationship-prone journalist needs to learn how to stay single in this heartwarming and hilarious new romantic comedy from the beloved author of Lease on Love. Lana Parker is an expert girlfriend. After a disastrous breakup with her high school boyfriend, she's bounced from long-term relationship to long-term relationhip and even works as the dating and relationships columnist for one of Los Angeles's trendiest websites. But when Lana suddenly finds herself single, she's ready to take a break, both personally and professionally. That is, until her high school ex, Seth Carson, takes an assignment at Lana's site. Having spent years traveling the world as a freelance journalist, Seth's finally ready to put down roots. Seth and Lana's chemistry is just as combative—and undeniable—as ever and quickly leads to a competition that could shape both of their careers. Pitted against each other by Lana's boss, they are each tasked with writing an article series that goes against their usual dating type: Lana needs to write about being single and staying single, while Seth must learn to settle down and become boyfriend material. Whoever's series is most popular wins a highly coveted dream job. But when the two square off, it's not only their careers on the line—it’s also their hearts.

From the coverChapter 1
They invite you to a place that has special meaning to the two of you. -Lana Parker, "Ten Signs Your Partner Might Be About to Propose"
I'm having an Elle Woods moment.
And not a "wearing a pink power suit, getting into Harvard Law, smashing the patriarchy" Elle Woods moment.
More like a "hysterically crying in a public place because instead of being proposed to I'm getting dumped" Elle Woods moment.
The good news is I haven't actually started to cry yet. Which is a relief because my mouth is hanging open in complete and utter shock, and adding heaving sobs to the mix would make for a huge, snotty mess. A literal one, not just the figurative one my life has become.
"I'm sorry, what did you just say to me?"
"I said, I think we should break up."
I stare at the stupid, stupid man sitting across from me. I want nothing less than not to see Evan's stupid, stupid face for even one second longer, but I can't seem to look away, my face frozen in a mixture of horror and WTF-ery. I force my eyes shut, hoping against hope that when I reopen them, all of this will have been some kind of sick joke.
But it's not.
When I open my eyes-eyes Evan once told me weren't just brown but brown with flecks of gold-he's still there. Still watching me with a gaze full of pity.
I wish I could channel a Real Housewife and throw my dirty martini in his face, but that would require a level of motor function I don't seem to have. Also, something tells me I'm going to need the liquid courage to survive the rest of this night.
Finally, after several minutes of painful silence, Evan reaches over and pats my hand. Like I'm some grandma he helped across the street and not the woman he's been dating the last four years.
"I know this isn't what you were expecting, Lana Banana." His stupid, stupid mouth curls up in a condescending hint of a smile.
I always hated that nickname. Lana doesn't even rhyme with banana.
Stupid. Stupid.
I'm so fucking stupid.
I yank my hand out from under his, the mere touch of his skin on mine enough to give me the icks. "I thought you brought me here to propose." I mean for it to come out accusatory, but instead my voice hitches with a tinge of whine.
A proposal is a reasonable assumption when the man you've been in a committed relationship with for four years plans dinner at the restaurant where you had your first date. Assuming the man isn't a stupid, stupid asshole.
Evan's face scrunches up like the very thought of marrying me is painful. "Oh." He nods slowly, in a way he probably thinks is wise and sage and Gandalf-esque. "I can see now how you might've misinterpreted this."
"How I might have misinterpreted this?" My voice screeches and several patrons at surrounding tables subtly-and not so subtly-turn our way. I reach for my martini and for a second really consider how good it would feel to watch the olive-green-tinted liquid drip down his self-tanned face.
But then I wouldn't get to drink it. I chug the remainder of the cocktail before holding my empty glass in the air.
A server rushes over and removes the glass from my hand, as if he's been waiting for me to chuck it at someone.
"Hi, yes, more of these please." When the server gives me a wary look, I point across the table. "This motherfucker thought it was appropriate to bring me-his girlfriend of four years-to our first-date spot to break up with me."
He winces sympathetically. "I'll just keep them coming then?"
I salute him with my invisible glass. "Good man."

November 14, 2022 This entertaining rom-com from Ballard (Lease on Love) kicks off when relationship columnist and serial monogamist Lana Parker is dumped by her boyfriend of four years in “an Elle Woods moment” and her boss at online magazine Always Take Fountain challenges her to write a new column about being (and staying) single. If she does well, she has a shot at writing lifestyle pieces for the much more prestigious paper that has just acquired the site. But there’s a catch: she’s competing against her former best friend and first boyfriend, Seth Carson, a rootless freelance journalist who’s been challenged to write about becoming “boyfriend material” after years of playing the field. As former lovers turned bitter rivals turned uncertain coworkers, Lana and Seth slowly rebuild their old connection, discovering a deep chemistry that never quite faded. Ballard’s leads easily prove their compatibility through snarky banter and subtext-laden glances that leave no doubt as to their inevitable happily ever after. But the story, which refreshingly sees both protagonists undergoing therapy for their respective issues while reassessing their personal and professional goals, is one of healing and emotional growth as much as romance. There are few surprises here, but that doesn’t make it any less fun. Agent: Kimberly Whalen, Whalen Agency.
