In bleak midwinter Yorkshire, she struggles to manufacture “fresh” desire while feeling disconnected from other women. When a familiar biker guest arrives unannounced, Julia’s carefully managed solitude fractures, forcing her to confront attraction, work expectations, and the emotional truth beneath her characters’ love story.

And probably my job. Why have I run out of steam now? A month before my deadline. After ten years writing books. A steady output of middling novels for the romantically inclined. An agent’s dream. Or at least an agent’s recurring dream. The kind they don’t bother telling their friends about. The forgettable kind.  \nIf I don’t deliver a draft of this manuscript by the end of January, I can forget about Harriet finding me another book deal. She’s always telling me that editors want something fresh, something different. And if I can’t offer her that, at least I give her reliability. Sixty thousand words on a page every year. Easy. Or at least it was easy, for a while. Now I seem to have run out of ways to make fictional people fall in love with each other.  \nMy usual stay at home and get it done plan was not working. So here Iam, out in the middle of the Yorkshire Moors on a writing retreat. Cloistered away in a draughty old stately home with an onsite library and space to think. Up at seven, breakfast in the dining room, then down the corridor to the library for the next eight to ten hours. All I have to do is type two thousand words a day and I’ll be done.  \nSomehow, in an entire week, I’ve only committed fifty-three words to page. And two are my own bloody name. Julia Fay. Senior Creative Writing Lecturer, Julia Fay. Thirty-six-year-old singleton, Julia Fay. Loneliest woman in the world, Julia Fay.  \nThat’s not true, I just haven’t felt the touch of another woman for along time and it’s starting to get to me. But I have friends. I have family. And I have these two old men at the library who nod to me each morning, before quietly hunching over their books until lunchtime.  \nI know how to write. I literally teach the class on commercial romance. I can write this novel. I can churn it out, get it to my editor, move  \non to the next one. It’s just…I cannot get my head into this character. Why is she falling for the guy who has just opened a rival bakery? Why did I pitch this idea at all? Oh right, because of market predictions, because my publisher knows what will sell, what women want. And it’s my job to give women what they want. Even if that is another milky, bland cis man with a tender heart and strong working hands. Even if that’s not something I would ever want for myself.  \nMy own hands are taking on a greyish hue, nails a sickly blue from the cold. I pull my cardigan tighter across my body, straighten the pleats in my skirt, and pluck at the tights rolling down my belly like a second skin. Tucked away like this, I feel like a spectre, haunting my favourite corner of the library until dark. I lift the glasses from my nose and set them on the table. When I rub at my eyes, they click dryly. Time for a break. It’s just after three, which is usually when I go back to my room and prepare an instant coffee.
