Love on Hold: A Prequel to the Novel Love on Paper

"Forever," David said. "I promise, it only gets better from here." After her parents' famous marriage ended, it took a long time for Marin Beckett to commit to love, despite the romantic gestures of her poetry professor fiancé. They've finally set a wedding date, and now she's sure their love will last. If only he'd come along on her ten-day work trip, complete with a fancy Manhattan apartment, a chauffeured car, and a visit to a film set based on her very own book. With David, the trip would have been enthralling. Without him? The pressure to live up to work expectations and her brilliant dad's legacy makes her sweat. When she's forced to explore the demise of her parents' romance during a glittering tribute to her dad's memoir, Marin's long-buried doubts about love rise to the surface. Is she simply nervous? Or is her fear of commitment rooted in a truth she hasn't quite figured out?
