Tras el éxito de la bilogía Mis Razones, Violeta Reed regresa con una nueva novela que enamorará a las lectoras.…
La pluma de Violeta Reed es actual, divertida y cautivadora, y el tira y afloja de William y Raquel engancha desde el minuto cero, pero ten cuidado: esta historia a fuego lento te derretirá por dentro. ELENA ARMAS ESCRIBIR ROMANCE NUNCA FUE TAN COMPLICADOWilliam Anderson es el escritor de fantasía más exitoso de la década, con millones de lectores enganchados a su pluma. Es exigente, ambicioso… y tremendamente atractivo. Y también es un bocazas. Raquel García es una joven española que llegó a Nueva York persiguiendo su sueño: trabajar en una de las editoriales más importantes del país. Lo que no imaginaba es que, para conseguirlo, debería lidiar con Anderson después de que este, con más ego que sentido común, prometa en un reconocido programa de televisión que su próximo libro será el best seller de romántica del año. William no está dispuesto a dejarse corregir y Raquel no va a pasarle ni una, sobre todo si lo que escribe está lleno de clichés pasados de moda. Condenados a entenderse, tendrán que trabajar juntos para superar un gran reto: sacar adelante la novela que cambiará sus vidas.UNA HISTORIA DE AMOR CORREGIDA EN BOLI ROJONinja Kid 12 - Hipno-ninja (Ninja Kid #Volumen 12)
