Power of the Pen

Lauren James writes a popular blog under the name MzJames, and her sharp reviews have brought her a modest fame. Her favourite target is Z. Hays, a best-selling indie author whose erotic novels have won a huge readership. Lauren has made it her mission to pick apart his books in public, and before long she has caught his attention.

Zach Hughs is the man behind the pen name Z. Hays. Success has brought him more critics than he expected, but one blogger in particular gets under his skin with personal attacks. One night, after drinking more than he should, he lashes out at her online, and the exchange goes badly for them both.

Later, a chance meeting at a bar introduces Lauren to a man who opens her eyes to experiences she previously knew only from Z. Hays' novels. Zach soon realises that his new fascination is the blogger he cannot stand, but he keeps the secret to himself. Two online rivals are falling for each other without knowing who the other really is.
