Stephanie Wrobel, "Revenge Plot"

About the Book: All Arnie Tenderton wants this Christmas—all he’s ever wanted—is to be a published author. For decades he has toiled over one novel after another. Each was missing something. Until now. He’s finally written his perfect book. What he needs next is a literary agent, someone who can get his book into publishers’ hands. Not just any agent will do, of course. Arnie wants the best. Arnie wants Claudia Conley. She already rejected him once, and Arnie has never forgiven her. He could move on. Instead, he finds out where Claudia is spending the holidays: alone in a remote house in the Catskill Mountains. He decides to show up there to make his pitch. Claudia may try to turn him down again, but this time Arnie won’t take no for an answer. Because his book is about her. And he’s not leaving until the story ends the way he wants. About the Author: Stephanie Wrobel is the internationally bestselling author of The Hitchcock Hotel, This Might Hurt, and Darling Rose Gold, which sold in twenty-one countries and was a finalist for the Edgar Award for Best First Novel. Her fourth novel, Revenge Plot, will come out in November 2026. She grew up in Chicago and now lives in Los Angeles.
