Spotlight and Giveaway: Most Eligible

We're excited to celebrate the publication of Isabelle Engel's debut novel, Most Eligible! This second chance romance sounds like such a treat and it's getting a lot of great reviews. Thanks to St. Martin's Press, we have THREE copies to give away!


Georgia Rose is not going on the hit reality dating show Love Shack to find love. She’s there to write a killer exposé on the producers, which will guarantee the journalism job of her dreams. But when Georgia’s unforgettable one-night stand from the year before, country singer Rhett Auburn, steps into the Malibu mansion as the season’s new host, all of her carefully crafted plans unravel.

Caught up in the drama of backstabbing contestants, producer blackmail, and death-defying dates, Georgia must keep her identity—and history with Rhett—a secret. Despite the lies between them, it isn’t long before Georgia and Rhett’s heated behind-the-scenes moments start to feel more genuine than the romance Georgia’s faking for the cameras. But with her assignment unfinished and the executive producer on her tail, a second chance with Rhett could be her riskiest move of all.

Most Eligible will delight fans of reality dating shows and 90s rom-coms. I adored this book from start to finish and was so sad to turn the last page!”
—Lindsay Hameroff, author of Never Planned on You 

“With a cast of characters you'll love, others you'll love to hate, and twists you won't see coming, this book is unputdownable and a pure delight!”
―Meredith Schorr, author of Roommating

Most Eligible is the perfect read for fans of page-turning romances full of heart. Isabelle Engel has written a showstopper of a debut.”
―Holly James, author of The Big Fix
