By the way I fucking love space and watching Artemis II for the last 10 days healed something in me. Living through something almost unimaginable (positive) for the first time in a long time!!!!!!! What a concept!!!

The wait is over! A Fine Line, my debut contemporary rivals-to-lovers romance novel, is out today!! Think Leslie Knope’s city council run in Parks and Recreation and the banter and teasing of Josh and Donna’s relationship in The West Wing! Head here for your copy! #romancelandia #booksky

Clear your schedule because you're going to resent any
responsibilities that get in the way of reading this book! I loved every minute, and I was torn between needing to know what happens in the end and wanting to really absorb the beauty and humour of the writing.
A FINE
* LINE *
PENELOPE GUINNThis is rivals-to-lovers done right-sharp banter, unresolved tension, and that delicious "we should not be doing this" energy simmering under every interaction. The chemistry between
Calliope and Emerson is immediate but layered, built on shared wounds and hard-earned vulnerability.
Love or hase? Too close to call

Guys.
ME with my BOOOOOOK! I have red curly hair and white glasses and green eyes and fair skin and I’m wearing a silly tshirt and I’m holding MY BOOOOOK: A FINE LINE by Penelope Guinn, pink background with green grass in bottom of frame and a red, white and blue campaign sign, a pink bra is draped over the left corner of sign, a red/white striped tie is draped over the right corner Interior of MY BOOK!!!!

Prologue
Calliope
39 DAYS UNTIL THE RAGANSVILLE ELECTION
I'M NOT THIS GIRL.
"Do you like that, Calliope?" he asks, his tongue swiping at
my center.
Oh, I am this girl right now. In this bed. With this man I
despise.
But the thing I despise about him the most—more than his smirking, or the way he smells good without clouds of cologne-is the way he makes my toes curl when he says my name, or the way he shoves my priorities into a taffy twist just by looking at me.
I'm not normally the girl sneaking around and ignoring the consequences. I'm usually the one pointing them out to everyone else, stomach in knots when I'm the only one who seems to know the rules.
I'm Calliope Jean Simons, I remind myself. I took a little misfortune in my career, trudged back to my hometown, andInterior title page, A FINE LINE Penelope Guinn, pinwheels lined up and knocked over in the grass by a men’s Oxford shoes, a pointed slingback heel, and a sock draped over one pinwheel

Their brief, shared history isn't the only thing heating up the competition. When the two decide to cool off the sexual tension with one night together, once isn't enough, blurring the line between love and rivalry.

This was fun to write 🤭 #reylofic #reylo
Ben’s knee jumps against the table leg. The tremble of clinking glass turns Rose's gaze toward them and every part of his body locks tight. 

Rey doesn't let it stop her - pulling away now would look suspicious when she's been sitting so close to him for the last few minutes. She rests her chin in her free palm, fakes an obvious yawn, as if Ben is still just Poe’s new friend that Rey can’t stand to be around. 

Rose smiles sympathetically and immediately returns to hurling insults directly into Hux’s unyielding face. Poe and Finn don't look up at all, they're arm-wrestling for the last shot of tequila at the open end of the booth.

Rey rolls her wrist. 
Ben grasps his beer bottle dangerously tight. He’s trying hard not to look at her, knowing his eyes will give it away. But she hums a soft, appreciative sound and there's the flicker of failure she knew would come - his breath hitches, a darting glance that barely meets her eyes, another at the packed bar, then back at her, focused on her mouth.

Rey tightens her grip and he hunches subtly, hips canting forward. He knows not to talk; last time she swirled her fingers right as he opened his mouth and she's still not sure anyone fully believed he was choking on his whiskey sour. 
They’re careful now, still pretending to ignore each other like they always have, even though he’s been texting her since the first time she did this, when he’d accused her of drawing attention with her full-throated laugh and she’d leaned in and told him to be quiet while making it as difficult as possible for him to comply. It was supposed to be offensive, to make him back off in disgust. But his eyes had widened and then lowered with such intense challenge that Rey couldn't stop. She still can't.

This time, he bites his lips together, breathes heavy through his nose. 

His back tenses, a bulge of muscle that spreads his shoulders so wide his rigid arm presses into her.  

Close.
Rey speeds up, clearing her throat to cover his heavy grunt. He twists toward her, a quickly diverted thrust, and hides his face behind hers, breathing hard. It must look like he’s angry, arched down to talk low in her ear, as if he’s whispering a snide comment or an mean retort.

Instead, she hears that choked sound he makes when he's trying not to growl. 

It's as sweet a sound as the loganberry pie she’ll order boxed to take home, like a prize.
