A Perfect Man - Perfect Books, #1

Until he overcomes his past, he can't be anyone's hero. Not even hers. After leaving her abusive relationship, Karen Hardeman stifled her self-doubt and enrolled in Foothills University's MFA program. Her first course-Intro to Romance-is ironic. Goodness knows she needs help in that area. The professor is offering a prize for writing the best novella: dinner with her favorite author. It's as good as hers, if she can just find the right model for her hero.
One thing is sure-it's not her irritating classmate, Seth Sayers. Seth left his soul-sucking software career to seek a new direction-and to escape family drama. After a disastrous encounter with a jagged piece of wine bottle lands him in the ER, a painkiller-induced dream casts him as the male lead in Karen's project. The pills also dull his better judgement, and he re-writes her story from the male point of view. When their professor forces them to collaborate on the manuscript, it's hardly a match made in writing heaven.
Trust is in short supply. But when Karen runs afoul of a villainous megachurch preacher, she instinctively reaches for the one man who already has a piece of her heart - Seth. But can he can overcome his doubts and be the hero of her dreams?
