My Tease for this week is from
The Publicist
Book Two
by Christina George
My Teasers from pages 16 and 92 in the paperback.
From page 16:
“Then you’ll be surprised to learn that we’ve found newly-released books with with no less than ninety-five, five star, raving reviews.. When we investigated further, we found that they were all set up from dummy accounts.”
“Wow, terrible; it’s amazing the lengths people will go to.”
From page 92:
“Since when do authors dictate their release date?”

Synopsis
It’s an industry of out-of-control egos, unrealistic expectations, and unfulfilled promises.
This is publishing and it’s Kate’s world, but maybe not for long.
When one of Kate Mitchell’s star authors is carted away in handcuffs, it’s only the beginning of her troubles. As her world crumbles around her, Kate desperately looks for anyone to hold onto but finds that happy endings are truly works of fiction. With the shelf life of her career and her love affair quickly expiring, Kate sets off on a new adventure…
Starting over in California is easy but Kate soon learns that leaving her old life behind isn’t. Nick Lavigne is eager to help her forget but two things still own her heart, the dream of discovering the next great American novel, and MacDermott Ellis.
As Kate tries to rebuild her life she finds a surprising gift that reboots her career in a new and unexpected direction. Suddenly her name becomes synonymous with one of the biggest bestsellers publishing has seen in ages and she’s welcomed back with open arms.
But at the height of her success the ghosts of her past come back to remind her of the world she’d been trying to forget and the man who never let go of her heart.
Behind the book, there’s always more to the story. Welcome to Publishing, the ego has landed.

I found both of these discussions fascinating as we’ve all heard things bounced around on the internet. Both of these scenes were rather humorous though, not ugly.
