When the Villain Gets Her Own Love Story
Have you ever found yourself cast as the villain in someone else's love story? For literary agent Nora Stephens, this isn't just a hypothetical question - it's her reality. Known as "the Shark" in publishing circles, Nora has built her reputation on razor-sharp instincts and unwavering commitment to her clients. She stalks Manhattan's publishing houses in tailored Theory suits and Louboutin heels, securing seven-figure deals with ruthless efficiency. But despite her professional success, Nora has been dumped four times by boyfriends who leave her for small-town women who embody "authentic living." She's not the protagonist of the small-town romance - she's the uptight career woman who gets left behind. What happens when that character finally gets her own story? What if the woman society has taught us to root against deserves her own happy ending?
