When Angel Robinson becomes the assistant to Lucy Fiamma, literary agent to the stars, it's all her dreams come true - the perfect job. She's always loved books and reading and soon shows a remarkable talent for finding manuscripts with potential and turning them into bestsellers. But Angel is overworked, underpaid, hardly ever sees her gorgeous boyfriend (a budding writer) and comes to realise that her boss is a nightmare and that behind the scenes in the world of books is definitely the stuff of fiction. But she's still in love with her new career . . . isn't she? One day, a chapter from a mysterious manuscript arrives at the office.
The novel seems to fall into the popular 'insider revenge' genre, featuring the boss from hell and her long-suffering assistant. As Angel encourages the anonymous author to develop character, plot and motive, chapter by chapter the lines between fiction and reality start to blur. Who is real? What is really happening? Who is the author of this compelling manuscript? And who is the man who seems to be infiltrating her heart?
