Description

Business meets pleasure at a family-owned theme park in this sweet, fun-filled debut from the former Editor-in-Chief at Nerdist, as a thrill ride designer shows a straitlaced suit the lighter side of life--and discovers a whole new perspective of her own . . .

Charlotte Gates grew up in a land of fairy tales and mythological creatures--literally--spending her childhood at her aunt and uncle's theme park, Lands of Legend. It's no surprise that she eventually landed her dream job designing thrill rides for a massive, global company. The surprise comes when she's laid off--and catches her now ex-boyfriend cheating. With her boss. Worse, back in her Ohio hometown Charlotte finds that Lands of Legend is struggling. To stay open, they'll have to work with an investor . . .

To Charlotte's horror, Gregory Binns not only doesn't know the difference between a theme park and an amusement park, he's also never been on a roller coaster. Even more troubling, she's certain his ideas will ruin Lands of Legend's uniqueness. So, Charlotte sets out to make sure buttoned-up Gregory experiences the magic firsthand. Opening the park's new themed area, Under the Waves, is the perfect opportunity--which brings Charlotte to her next surprise . . .

As Gregory loosens up--even ditching his tie--Charlotte begins to see him in an attractive new light. She even catches herself fantasizing about what a life with less work and more Gregory would be like. But when her old job makes her a tempting new offer, she's faced with a decision: reclaim the career she worked her whole life to build, or sit tight for a thrilling new shot at love . . .
