Spotlight and Giveaway: Any Trope But You

We're pleased to feature Victoria Lavine's debut rom-com, Any Trope but You! It's been out a week and is already receiving a lot of great buzz. It will make you wish it was winter again and that you had a cozy fire to snuggle in front of. See why Allyson enjoyed it. Thanks to Atria, we have FIVE copies to give away!

A bestselling romance author flees to Alaska to reinvent herself and write her first murder mystery, but the rugged resort proprietor soon has her fearing she’s living in a rom-com plot instead in this earnestly spectacular debut by a stunning new voice.

Beloved romance author Margot Bradley has a dark secret: she doesn’t believe in Happily Ever Afters. Not for herself, not for her readers, and not even for her characters, for whom she secretly writes Happily Never Afters: alternate endings that swap weddings and babies for divorce papers and the occasional slashed tire. When her Happily Never Afters document is hacked and released to the public, she finds herself canceled and dropped by her publisher.

Desperate to find a way to continue supporting her chronically ill sister, Savannah, Margot decides to trade meet-cutes for murder. The fictional kind. Probably. But when Savannah books Margot a six-week stay in a remote Alaskan resort to pen her murder mystery, Margot finds herself running from a moose and leaping into the arms of the ruggedly handsome proprietor, she fears she’s just landed in a romance novel plot instead.

The last thing Dr. Forrest Wakefield ever expected was to leave his dream job as a cancer researcher to become a glorified bellhop. What he’s really doing at his family’s resort is caring for his stubborn, ailing father, and his puzzle-loving mind is slowly freezing over—until Margot shows up. But Forrest doesn’t have any vacancy in his life for another person he could lose, especially one with a checkout date.

As long snowy nights and one unlikely trope after another draw Margot and Forrest together, they’ll each have to learn to melt the ice around their hearts before Margot leaves—or become a Happily Never After story themselves.

"Victoria Lavine writes the kind of effervescent, whip-smart prose romance readers crave. Starring loveable leads whose chemistry is equal parts electric and tender, Any Trope But You is a perfectly cozy and big-hearted romance that I know I'll return to again and again."
—Ellie Palmer, author of Four Weekends and a Funeral

“If you loved Emily Henry’s Beach Read but wished it was snowier, Any Trope But You is your book! I came for the grumpy lumberjack and stayed for the cast of loveable characters! The only part of this book that isn't hot is the Alaskan setting!”
—Kate Robb, author of This Spells Love

"Any Trope But You is a love letter to the romance genre and to the concept of Happily Ever Afters.  A truly charming debut that had me smiling, blushing, and wishing for my own pet moose."
—Sarah Adler, USA Today bestselling author of Happy Medium

Now, she writes her own Happily Ever Afters when she’s not enjoying the great state of Maine with her husband and daughter, taking orders from her two cats, or coming up with excellent reasons to make her next latte.
