About this ebook

Blending romance with a message for social justice, Amanda Heger pens a second “rompy Rom Com at its best” in the Wanderlove series, this one under the lights of Hollywood.

Marisol Gutierrez has come to Los Angeles with a single goal: win the prestigious grant that will save her family’s struggling medical clinic back in Nicaragua. But, when a cute guy invites her to sit in the audience of a hip-but-failing comedy program, Marisol figures she’ll get a little entertainment out of her otherwise stressful trip.

Evan Abramson thought an internship at the So Late It’s Early Show would be the start of a long television-writing career, but their ratings are sinking. With every show, his plans seem one step closer to collapse. When a backstage crisis throws him into an onstage encounter with a gorgeous and charming audience member, Evan and Marisol become overnight sensations. And soon their made-for-television romance is the only thing keeping So Late from getting the axe.

As things heat up onscreen and off, Marisol and Evan are caught between their careers and their growing feelings for one another. Being together in front of the cameras puts Marisol’s grant at risk, but keeping their romance offscreen means Evan’s show is sure to fail. Together they have to decide whether to stick with the script and save their careers or improvise their way toward a happily ever after.

Praise for Without Borders
“Heger's debut is poignant and crackles with a wry, authentic, relatable voice that will appeal to anyone who's ever felt like a twenty-something fish out of water."―Lia Riley, author of the Off the Map series

Ratings and reviews

Semi-Scripted by Amanda Heger is the second book in her Wanderlove series. It is a stand alone romance story told in dual POV and is lighthearted and funny and high on anticipation and low on the actual act of the sex. Marisol opens the story in the most bizarre way - standing in line, in costume, in LA, for a game show Whose Got The Coconuts. It's quirky and unique and set the scene for the laughs and awkwardness to come. Evan, on the other hand, thought he was awkward and goofy but really didn't come across that way, even with the other characters. The attraction that builds between these two who are from such completely different backgrounds and just pulls you into their story. I honestly couldn't get enough, between worrying about Clint, laughing at the Pubes, and worrying about the end result, I was hooked.

About the author

Amanda Heger is a writer, attorney, and bookworm. She lives in the Midwest with three unruly rescue dogs and a husband who encourages her delusions of grandeur. Her new adult romance, Without Borders, is forthcoming from Diversion Books. The story was inspired by the summer Amanda spent in rural Nicaragua, eating gallo pinto, speaking mangled Spanish, and showing high school students how to slide condoms onto over-sized plantains.
