Mr. Nice Guy

More about the book

Lucas Callahan leaves behind his law degree, fiancée, and small-town life for a chance at success in New York City. He secures an entry-level position at Empire magazine, convinced that fame as a writer is just around the corner. One night, he meets a stunning brunette, Carmen Kelly, who unexpectedly becomes a pivotal figure in his life. Carmen, aspiring to be a serious journalist, finds herself relegated to the role of Empire's sex columnist due to the male-dominated culture of Manhattan media. Her latest article details a disappointing encounter with an awkward guy, unaware that it’s Lucas she’s writing about. When he discovers her scathing review of their night together, he is humiliated and retaliates with a rebuttal published under the pseudonym "Nice Guy." The columns attract significant attention, prompting Empire to propose a unique arrangement: Lucas and Carmen will engage in a series of encounters and share competing narratives of their experiences. As their relationship evolves, the lines between professional rivalry and personal connection blur, leading to unexpected consequences for both.
