Jeni Cox loves witty romance.
My enemies-to-lovers contemporary romance, Word on the Street, folds Tarot readings, mix tapes, a found family, and homemade energy drinks into sizzling romantic tension that develops from a shared love of words. This homage to Reality Bites is 93,000 words that clip along as both characters discover that embracing the flaws they hide may actually transform them into the best versions of themselves.
From sauna sessions to sushi dinners, romance writing to emailed vintage pictures, their unfolding passion challenges Laine and Tyler to come to terms with their deepest secrets and find their true path in life and their possible way forward. Together.
A romp through New York, Austin, and San Francisco.
Word on the Street
As an academic who specializes in psychology and gender, Dr. Laine Foster literally wrote the book on the bad behavior of men, an entire chapter devoted to the disgustingly charming reality star, Tyler Luce.
She didn’t think she’d ever have to meet him, much less sit across from him monthly. But when her agent pushes her to challenge him on a new yearlong podcast about relationships, she reluctantly agrees.
Is he as terrible as this academic feminist has made him seem? C’mon, of course not! He was simply caught in a bad moment–anyone would be with a camera in their face all the time! She’s the awful one, capitalizing on someone’s weaknesses.
