About this Event
Join Beguiled Books in welcoming Maria Millage as we celebrate her debut release of Cut to the Ending. Perfect for readers of How to End a Love Story and Book Lovers, this deliciously swoony Hollywood romcom centers around an aspiring screenwriter who gets the opportunity to write the finale of a megahit fantasy franchise, and the nerdy - but annoyingly hot - assistant she teams up with to teach her the series’ canon.
Maria will be joined in conversation by Laura Marie Meyers, USA Today bestselling author of The MASH Up.
Ticket options include a free reserved ticket or option to purchase the book with your ticket.
Following the conversation and audience Q+A, attendees will have the opportunity to meet the authors and get their books signed.
About the book:
Delaney Webber knows the price of Hollywood success: long hours, a caffeine addiction, and sacrificing any semblance of a personal life. But a year after a misogynistic producer torpedoed her screenwriting career, she’s stuck running errands for her eccentric boss-slash-mentor. When he offers her the chance to finish the fantasy franchise that made him a household name—Magician’s Gambit—she jumps at the opportunity to get her career back on track. There’s just one problem: she’s never seen it.
Not-quite-reformed nerd Max Sullivan is one Slack notification away from a mental breakdown. As the assistant to one of LA’s most powerful (and terrifying) talent managers, he’s Living the Dream—aka barely keeping his anxiety in check while juggling hyper-specific coffee orders and overinflated egos. But it’s worth it for the opportunity to one day make the kind of movies his dad raised him on, movies like Magician’s Gambit.
It’s the perfect match to save both their careers. Max needs his big break; Delaney needs someone to teach her the difference between an orc and a hobbit. But as theirMagician’s Gambit lessons turn strictly unprofessional and their electric chemistry becomes impossible to ignore, they must decide if their future is worth fighting for, or if it’s time to roll the credits.
