Two writers get a second chance at love in this romantic, sexy-as-hell New York Times bestselling novel by the author of A Love Song for Ricki Wilde.
"Smart, sexy. I absolutely loved it." —Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper
“Gutting, arousing, and sparklingly witty … a love story with depth.” —Vogue
Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer. Shane Hall is a reclusive, award-winning novelist. When the two meet at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their buried traumas, but the eyebrows of the Black literati. What no one knows is that when they were teenager, Eva and Shane spent one crazy week madly in love. They can pretend they've never met, but they can’t deny their chemistry—or the fact that they’ve been secretly writing to each other in their books through the years.
With its keen observations of creative life in America today, as well as the joys and complications of being a mother and a daughter, Seven Days in June is a hilarious starcrossed romance.

Smart, Sexy, and Deeply Real
"This story was bold, witty, and beautifully layered. Eva and Shane are survivors of their pasts, haunted by their childhood, and clinging to the words they never said. Their chemistry is off the charts, but what truly made this book unforgettable is how it tackles chronic pain, addiction, motherhood, and the publishing world with raw honesty and grace. I laughed. I cried. I highlighted half the book. This is what contemporary romance should be."
