All’s fair in love and war.
With Randi and Buck, it’s hard to tell the two apart…

An uptight, self-contained college girl, Randi Becker just needed one thing: a room. Somewhere she could study, and keep away from the things that most confuse and frighten her: people.

Unfortunately, the “nice quiet place” she reserved turns out to be a room in the campus’ most raucous house. A place seemingly designed to make studying impossible, made even worse by the other girls’ non-stop drama.

But then Buck, a fun-loving cowboy whom all the ladies love, shows up…and everything gets much worse.

Buck seems to have it all: friends, fun, and a never-ending line of admirers. But what he most desires is a break. So when Buck spots Randi, he figures she’s a perfect decoy: he can play up a “crush” on her that will take him off the market; buy him some breathing room. And if he can tease her a bit, and get under the skin of the uptight busybody? Well, that’s just gravy.

But Buck is about to find more than he bargained for. Randi’s strong-willed, opinionated, difficult—and maybe just what he needs. And Buck isn’t alone. Soon Randi wonders as well…if the world she wanted is really the world she needs. If her future is nothing more than a diploma on the wall. And if the most important thing in her world isn’t a grade, but the cowboy who’s planted his boots firmly in her heart.

Fans of Beth O’Leary’s The Flatshare and Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game will delight at this mix of romantic comedy, contemporary romance, and cultures colliding in a campus town with a western flair. Grab your copy today, and fall in love with Buck Up, Buttercup!

Top 10 Things For Writers From Anna Alkire:

1.   How do you eat a bear? One bite at a time. I’m not advocating that anyone eat bears! However, a slightly horrifying analogy helps to sink it in: your best friend is project management.
2.   Reward yourself and celebrate every time you can. Chocolate has its uses.
3.   Writing community moves the dial. 
4.    Stretch!
5.   Say this to yourself as you draft: DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT.
6.   Hang in there, if you put the work in, you’ll get there. 
7.   How do you make a tissue dance? Put a little boogie in it. Okay, that was a random joke that only tangentially ties into my point: be brave and be emotional. Readers want the feels. 
8.   Noise cancelling headphones. Will the construction ever end at my neighbor’s house?
9.   When stuck, get up and walk around. 
10.   Believe in yourself! You’ve got this!
