SEMI-SCRIPTED
A WANDERLOVE NOVEL
A WANDERLOVE NOVEL
by Amanda Heger
Readers enthralled with Amanda Heger’s debut contemporary
romance, Without Borders (Diversion;
2016) wondered how she would follow up the heartfelt and headstrong book set in
the jungles of Nicaragua? Where would she go from here?
In your hands, you hold the answer. In SEMI-SCRIPTED (Diversion Trade Paperback Original; $14.99; November
8, 2016), she goes to Los Angeles in a start-to-finish joy to read. Fans of Lia
Riley, Colleen Hoover, and Jennifer Blackwood, will delight in this gorgeous
standalone romance.
Marisol Gutierrez has come to Los Angeles with a single goal:
win the prestigious grant that will save her family’s struggling medical clinic
back in Nicaragua. But, when a cute guy invites her to sit in the audience of a
hip-but-falling comedy program, Marisol figures she’ll get a little
entertainment out of her otherwise stress-filled trip.
Evan Abramson thought an internship at the So Late It’s Early Show would be the
start of a long television-writing career, but their ratings are sinking. With
every show, his plans seem one step closer to collapse. When a backstage crisis
throws him into an onstage encounter with the gorgeous and charming Marisol,
the two become overnight sensations. And soon their made-for-television romance
is the only thing keeping So Late from
cancellation.
As things heat up onscreen and off, Marisol and Evan are
caught between their career and their growing feelings for one another. Being
together in front of the cameras put Marisol’s grant at risk, but keeping their
romance off-screen means Evan’s show is sure to fail. Together they have to
decide whether to stick with the script and save their careers or improvise
their way toward a happily ever after.

AUTHOR SOCIAL MEDIA:
Praise for Without Borders:
“This
adventurous novel takes its lively characters on an immersive journey…Despite
the serious nature of their mission, the story retains a light touch while
still allowing moments of heartfelt caring to shine through.”
—RT Book Reviews
“Without Borders by Amanda Heger is like
a slow burn with your favorite scented candle. It lulls you in, mesmerizes,
feeds your senses, sometimes flickers, and you just want it to last.”
—Heroes &
Heartbreakers
“Without Borders is…a story about losing
yourself and then finding yourself again. It’s about discovering beauty in the
small details of life and being stronger than you ever thought you could be.”
—Agents of
Romance
“Unique
and unlike anything I’ve ever read, Without
Borders is a sweet and witty romance that will warm your heart.”
—Melissa
Brown, author of the Love of My Life series
“Without Borders had me laughing from the
first chapter and finishing with a full heart. The attraction between Felipe
and Annie is hotter than a month in a Nicaraguan jungle. Heger’s debut is
poignant and crackles with a wry, authentic, relatable voice that will appeal
to anyone who’s ever felt like a twenty-something fish out of water.”
—Lia Riley,
author of the Off the Map series
“Heger
gave me a refreshing, romantic read, with an exciting new spin on the ‘road
trip’ trope! It managed to broaden my view of the world and make me swoon at
the same time. I enjoyed every minute of it and I can’t wait until the next
book!”
—Nicole
Michaels, author of the Hearts and Crafts series
