What The Fine Print is about
Rowan Kane builds fairy tales for a living, from theme parks to production companies to five-star hotels. Zahra sent in a drunk proposal criticizing the most expensive ride at Dreamland, a park he stands to profit more from renovating. Rather than fire her, Rowan offers her a dream job working for him.
Zahra thinks he is rude, difficult and strictly off-limits, but falls for him anyway. When she learns his secret, she sets out to show him that money can't fix everything. Told from both Rowan's and Zahra's perspectives, this romance plays with secrets, a kiss, and a text sent under an alias. It is a good pick for readers who like a slow, bickering pull between two people who should know better.
