What Would Ginger Rogers Do?

In any dilemma, bookshop publicist Tosca asks herself what Ginger Rogers would do—but this may have life-altering consequences where new staff member wealthy Ethan James is concerned

Tosca Tonnino oversees author events at Carter &Co. a small, independent bookshop in a tourist town. Enjoying her independence, a lively social life, and seasonal love affairs, Tosca practices the worldly insouciance embodied by Ginger Rogers, that icon of 1930s cinema. In any social or romantic dilemma, Tosca asks herself: What would Ginger Rogers do? A new hire comes to the bookshop under mysterious circumstances. Ethan James is attractive, secretive, sometimes surly, occasionally witty, and fiercely competitive. Tosca finds him generally annoying until one snowy night  their romance blossoms. To Tosca’s humiliation, the next morning Ethan thanks her for a one night stand. When Tosca snags a terrific coup—a reading at the store by mega-bestselling author, Lucy Lamont—her glory is cut short. Ethan announces that his old school friend, the author of a bleak literary bestseller, wants to come on the same date, the idea of the two writers on the same stage is unthinkable. In this intolerable situation: What would Ginger Rogers do? Tosca’s response will alter the rest of her life.
