Let It Be Me — Laura Chapman

Who says history is boring?

Professor James Mitchell has a rock star reputation. With a waitlist for all his classes, a best-selling book, and the requisite leather jacket, the university and publisher are eager to capitalize on this British sensation. But after his girlfriend leaves him for another man, James goes from rising scholar to spiraling bad boy. Forget contracts and tenure, James wants out -- of his job, his book deal, and, better still, the country. He's well on his way when his boss's daughter walks into his favorite bar . . .

Aspiring filmmaker Ali Ferguson-Day doesn't scare easily. She's been given the means to make a film of her own -- on the condition she tames the professor. As the daughter of a famed documentarian and a renowned historian, she's more than ready to step out of her parents' shadows and shine on her own. She won't let anyone -- not even an unexpected charmer -- get in her way.

James and Ali butt heads from the start, but it isn't long before their sparring gives way to attraction. There's the promise of even more, if they can get past the fear of history repeating itself to let love in . . .

Let It Be Me is the second standalone book in the Amarillo Sour series. It's a sweet workplace romantic comedy about friends who become lovers, second chances, and friends who become family.
